[ Commercial Code - Uniform Certificate of Title Act – codification – 		effective date ]

BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA:
SECTION 1.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-9-801 of Title 12A, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
This act shall be known and may be cited as the "Uniform Certificate of Title Act".
SECTION 2.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-9-802 of Title 12A, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
(a)  In the Uniform Certificate of Title Act:
(1)  “Buyer” means a person that buys or contracts to buy goods.
(2)  “Buyer in ordinary course of business” means a person that buys goods in good faith, without knowledge that the sale violates the rights of another person in the goods, and in ordinary course from a person, other than a pawnbroker, in the business of selling goods of that kind.  A person buys goods in ordinary course if the sale comports with the usual or customary practices in the kind of business in which the seller is engaged or with the seller’s own usual or customary practices.  A buyer in ordinary course of business may buy for cash, by exchange of other property, or on secured or unsecured credit, and may acquire goods under a pre-existing contract for sale.  Only a buyer that takes possession of the goods or has a right to recover the goods from the seller under Article 2 of this title may be a buyer in ordinary course of business.  The term does not include a person that acquires goods in a transfer in bulk or as security for or in total or partial satisfaction of a money debt.  A buyer in ordinary course of business does not lose that status solely because a certificate of title was not executed to the buyer.
(3)  “Cancel”, with respect to a certificate of title or a certificate of origin, means to make the certificate ineffective.
(4)  “Certificate of origin” means a record created by a manufacturer or importer as the manufacturer’s or importer’s proof of identity of a vehicle.
(5)  “Certificate of title”, except in the phrases “certificate of title created by a governmental agency of any state” and “certificate of title created by a governmental agency of any jurisdiction”, means a record, created by the office and designated as a certificate of title by it, that is evidence of ownership of a vehicle.
(6)  “Create” means to bring a record into existence by making or authorizing the record.
(7)  “Deliver” means voluntarily to give possession of a record or to transmit it, by any reasonable means, properly addressed and with the cost of delivery provided.
(8)  “Electronic” means relating to technology having electrical, digital, magnetic, wireless, optical, electromagnetic, or similar capabilities.
(9)  “Electronic certificate of origin” means a certificate of origin consisting of information that is stored solely in an electronic medium and is retrievable in perceivable form.
(10)  “Electronic certificate of title” means a certificate of title consisting of information that is stored solely in an electronic medium and is retrievable in perceivable form. 
(11)  “Execute” means to sign and deliver a record on, attached to, accompanying, or logically associated with a certificate of title or certificate of origin to transfer ownership of the vehicle covered by the certificate.
(12)  “Good faith” means honesty in fact and the observance of reasonable commercial standards of fair dealing.
(13)  “Importer” means a person authorized by a manufacturer to bring into and distribute in the United States new vehicles manufactured outside the United States.
(14)  “Lessee in ordinary course of business” means a person that leases goods in good faith, without knowledge that the lease violates the rights of another person, and in ordinary course of business from a person, other than a pawnbroker, in the business of selling or leasing goods of that kind.  A person leases in ordinary course if the lease to the person comports with the usual or customary practices in the kind of business in which the lessor is engaged or with the lessor’s own usual and customary practices.  A lessee in ordinary course of business may lease for cash, by exchange of other property, or on secured or unsecured credit, and may acquire goods or a certificate of title covering goods under a preexisting lease contract.  Only a lessee that takes possession of the goods or has a right to recover the goods from the lessor under  Article 2A of this title may be a lessee in ordinary course of business.  A person that acquires goods in bulk or as security for or in total or partial satisfaction of a money debt is not a lessee in ordinary course of business.
(15)  “Lien creditor” means:
(A)	a creditor that has acquired a lien on the property involved by attachment, levy, or the like;
(B)	an assignee for the benefit of creditors from the time of assignment;
(C)	a trustee in bankruptcy from the date of the filing of the petition; or 
(D)	a receiver in equity from the time of appointment.
(16)  “Manufacturer” means a person that manufactures, fabricates, assembles, or completes new vehicles.
(17)  “Office” means the Oklahoma Tax Commission.
(18)  “Owner” means a person that has legal title to a vehicle.
(19)  “Owner of record” means the owner of a vehicle as indicated in the files of the office.
(20)  “Person” means an individual, corporation, business trust, estate, trust, partnership, limited liability company, association, joint venture, federally recognized Indian tribe, public corporation, government, or governmental subdivision, agency, or instrumentality, or any other legal or commercial entity.
(21)  “Purchase” means to take by sale, lease, mortgage, pledge, consensual lien, security interest, gift, or any other voluntary transaction that creates an interest in a vehicle.
(22)  “Purchaser” means a person that takes by purchase.
(23)  “Record” means information that is inscribed on a tangible medium or that is stored in an electronic or other medium and is retrievable in perceivable form.
(24)  “Secured party” means:
(A)	a person in whose favor a security interest is created or provided for under a security agreement, whether or not any obligation to be secured is outstanding;
(B)	a person that is a consignor under Article 9 of this title;
(C)	a person to which accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles, or promissory notes have been sold;
(D)	a trustee, indenture trustee, agent, collateral agent, or other representative in whose favor a security interest is created or provided for; or
(E)	a person that holds a security interest arising under  Sections 2-401, 2-505, 2‑711(3), or 2A‑508(5) of this title.
(25)  “Secured party of record” means the secured party whose name is provided as the name of the secured party or a representative of the secured party in a security-interest statement that has been received by the office or, if more than one are indicated, the first indicated in the files of the office.
(26)  “Security interest” means an interest in a vehicle which secures payment or performance of an obligation.  The term includes any interest of a consignor in a vehicle in a transaction that is subject to Article 9 of this title.  The term does not include the special property interest of a buyer of a vehicle on identification of that vehicle to a contract for sale under Section 2‑401 of this title, but a buyer may also acquire a security interest by complying with Article 9 of this title.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 2‑505 of this title, the right of a seller or lessor of a vehicle under Articles 2 or 2A of this title to retain or acquire possession of the vehicle is not a security interest, but a seller or lessor may also acquire a security interest by complying with Article 9 of this title.  The retention or reservation of title by a seller of a vehicle notwithstanding shipment or delivery to the buyer under Section 2‑401 of this title is limited in effect to a reservation of a security interest.  Whether a transaction in the form of a lease creates a security interest is determined by law other than the Uniform Certificate of Title Act.
(27)  “Security-interest statement” means:
(A)	a record created by a secured party which indicates a security interest; or
(B)	an application for which the office is required to create a certificate of title, if the application indicates a security interest.
(28)  “Sign” means, with present intent to authenticate or adopt a record, to:
(A)	make or adopt a tangible symbol; or
(B)	attach to or logically associate with the record an electronic sound, symbol, or process.
(29)  “State” means a state of the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands, a federally recognized Indian tribe, or any territory or insular possession subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

(31)  “Title brand” means a designation of previous damage, use, or condition that this act or law other than this act requires to be indicated on a certificate of title or a certificate of origin created by a governmental agency of any jurisdiction.
(32)  “Transfer” means to convey, voluntarily or involuntarily, an interest in a vehicle.
(33)  “Transferee” means a person that takes by transfer.
(34)  “Vehicle” means goods that are any type of motorized, wheeled device of a type in, upon, or by which an individual or property is customarily transported on a road or highway, or a commercial, recreational, travel, or other trailer customarily transported on a road or highway.  The term does not include:
(A)	an item of specialized mobile equipment not designed primarily for transportation of individuals or property on a road or highway;
(B)	an implement of husbandry; 
(C)	a wheelchair or similar device designed for use by an individual having a physical impairment; or
(D)	a manufactured home.
(35)  “Written certificate of origin” means a certificate of origin consisting of information inscribed on a tangible medium.

SECTION 4.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-9-804 of Title 12A, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
LAW GOVERNING VEHICLE COVERED BY CERTIFICATE OF TITLE OR CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN.
(a)  In this section, “certificate of title” means a certificate of title created by a governmental agency of any state.
(b)  The local law of the state under whose certificate of title a vehicle is covered governs all issues relating to the certificate of title, from the time the vehicle becomes covered by the certificate of title until the vehicle ceases to be covered by the certificate of title, even if no other relationship exists between the state and the vehicle or its owner.
(c)  A vehicle becomes covered by a certificate of title created in this state when an application for a certificate of title and the fee are received by the office in accordance with this act.  A vehicle becomes covered by a certificate of title in another state when an application for a certificate of title and the fee are received in that state pursuant to the law of that state.
(d)  A vehicle ceases to be covered by a certificate of title at the earlier of the time the certificate of title ceases to be effective under the law of the state pursuant to which it was created or the time the vehicle becomes covered subsequently by another certificate of title.
(e)  If a vehicle is not covered by a certificate of title but a certificate of origin has been created for the vehicle:
(1)  if the parties to the certificate of origin have chosen the law of a jurisdiction, the law of that jurisdiction applies to the certificate of origin, even if there is no other relationship between that jurisdiction and the vehicle or its owner; and

Each succeeding transferor shall execute to the next transferee or sign and deliver to the office all certificates of origin covering the vehicle which are known to the transferor.
(b)  If a certificate of title created by a governmental agency of any jurisdiction is not delivered to the buyer and a written certificate of origin or equivalent evidence of ownership is required by the office to obtain a certificate of title, a buyer may require that the buyer’s transferor execute to the buyer a written certificate of origin or provide equivalent evidence of ownership sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the office.

SECTION 10.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-9-810 of Title 12A, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:

(b)  Upon request of the secured party of record, the office shall create a written certificate of title or, if the office is authorized to do so, an electronic certificate of title.  If no security interest is indicated in the files of the office, the owner of record may have the office create a written certificate of title or, if the office is authorized to do so, an electronic certificate of title.  If no request is made by an owner of record or secured party, the office may create a written certificate of title or, if authorized to do so, an electronic certificate of title.
(c)  The office may reject an application for a certificate of title only if:
(1)  the application does not comply with Section 9 of this act;
(2)  there is a reasonable basis for concluding that the application is fraudulent or would facilitate a fraudulent or illegal act; or
(3)  the application does not comply with law of this state other than this act.
(d)  If the office has created a certificate of title, it may cancel the certificate of title only if it could have rejected the application under subsection (c) of this section or is required to cancel the certificate of title under another provision of this act.  The office shall provide an opportunity for a hearing at which the applicant and any other interested party may present evidence in support of or opposition to the cancellation.  The office shall serve the notice of the opportunity in person or send it by first class mail delivered by the United States Postal Service to the applicant, the owner of record, and all secured parties indicated in the files of the office.  If the applicant or any other interested party requests a hearing not later than ten (10) days after receiving the notice, the office shall hold the hearing not later than twenty (20) days after receiving the request.
SECTION 11.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-9-811 of Title 12A, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
CONTENTS OF CERTIFICATE OF TITLE.
(a)  A certificate of title must contain:
(1)  the date the certificate of title was created;
(2)  except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) of Section 26 of this act, the name and address of any secured party of record and an indication of whether there are additional security interests indicated in the files of the office or on a record created by a governmental agency of any jurisdiction and submitted to the office;
(3)  all title brands covering the vehicle, including brands previously indicated on a certificate of origin or certificate of title created by a governmental agency of any jurisdiction, which are known to the office; and
(4)  any other information required by subsection (b) of Section 9 of this act, except the applicant’s address.
(b)  Nothing in this act precludes an office from noting on a certificate the name and address of a secured party that is not a secured party of record.
(c)  An indication of a title brand on a certificate of title may consist of an abbreviation, but not a symbol, and must identify the jurisdiction that created the title brand or the jurisdiction that created a certificate of title created by a governmental agency of any jurisdiction that indicated the title brand.  If the meaning of a title brand is not easily ascertainable or cannot be accommodated on the certificate of title, the certificate of title may state:  “Previously branded in (insert the particular jurisdiction that created the title brand or whose certificate of title previously indicated the title brand).”
(d)  If a vehicle was previously registered in a jurisdiction other than a state, the office shall indicate on the certificate of title that the vehicle was registered in that jurisdiction.
(e)  A certificate of title must contain a form that the owner may sign in order to execute the certificate.
SECTION 12.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-9-812 of Title 12A, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
EFFECT OF POSSESSION OF CERTIFICATE OF TITLE OR CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN; JUDICIAL PROCESS.
A certificate of title created by a governmental agency of any jurisdiction or a certificate of origin does not by itself provide a means to obtain possession of a vehicle.  Garnishment, attachment, levy, replevin, or other judicial process against the certificate of title or a certificate of origin is not effective to determine possessory rights with respect to the vehicle.  However, this act does not prohibit enforcement of a security interest in, levy on, or foreclosure of a statutory or common-law lien on a vehicle under law of this state other than this act.  The absence of an indication of a statutory or common-law lien on a certificate of title does not invalidate the lien.
SECTION 13.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-9-813 of Title 12A, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
OTHER INFORMATION.
(a)  The office may accept a submission of information relating to a vehicle for indication in the files of the office, even if the requirements for a certificate of title, an application for a certificate of title, a security-interest statement, or a termination statement have not been met.  
(b)  A submission of information under this section, to the extent practicable, must include the information required by subsection (b) of Section 9 of this act for an application for a certificate of title.
(c)  The office may require the submission of information relating to a vehicle required for payment of taxes and fees for issuance or renewal of registration.
(d)  The office may require a person submitting information under this section to provide a bond in a form and amount determined by the office.  A bond must provide for indemnification of any secured party or other interested party against any expense, loss, or damage resulting from indication of the information in the files of the office.
(e)  A submission of information under this section and its indication in the files of the office is not a certificate of title, an application for a certificate of title, a security-interest statement, or a termination statement and does not provide a basis for transferring or determining ownership of a vehicle or the effectiveness of a security-interest statement.
SECTION 14.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-9-814 of Title 12A, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
MAINTENANCE OF AND ACCESS TO FILES.
(a)  For each record relating to a certificate of title submitted to the office, the office shall:
(1)  ascertain or assign the vehicle identification number, make, and model year of the vehicle to which the record relates pursuant to Section 6 of this act;
(2)  indicate in the files of the office the vehicle identification number, make, and model year of the vehicle to which the record relates and the information in the record, including the date and time the record was delivered to the office;
(3)  maintain the file for public inspection subject to subsection (d) of this section; and
(4)  index the files of the office so as to be accessible as required by subsection (b) of this section.
(b)  The office shall indicate in the files of the office the information contained in all certificates of title created under this act.  The files of the office must be accessible by the vehicle identification number for the vehicle covered by the certificate and any other indexing method used by the office.
(c)  To the extent known to the office, the files of the office maintained under this section relating to a vehicle must indicate all title brands and the name or names of any secured party and claimant to ownership of the vehicle and include stolen-property reports and security-interest statements.
(d)  Except as otherwise provided by the laws of this state other than this act, the information required under Section 11 of this act is a public record.  Whether other information in the files of the office is made available to the public is governed by law of this state other than this act.
SECTION 15.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-9-815 of Title 12A, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATE OF TITLE.
(a)  Upon creation of a certificate of title, the office shall promptly deliver a written certificate of title, or a record evidencing an electronic certificate of title, to any secured party of record at the address shown on the security-interest statement submitted by the secured party of record.  Unless previously provided to the owner of record, the office shall promptly deliver a record evidencing the certificate of title to the owner of record at the address indicated in the files of the office.  If no secured party is indicated in the files of the office, the written certificate of title or record evidencing the electronic certificate of title must be delivered to the owner of record.  A record evidencing an electronic certificate of title may be delivered to a mailing address or, if indicated in the files of the office, an electronic communication address.
(b)  Within a reasonable time not to exceed fifteen (15) business days after receipt of a request that a written certificate of title be created and delivered pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, the office shall create the certificate and deliver it to the person making the request.
(c)  If a written certificate of title is created, any electronic certificate of title is canceled and replaced by the written certificate of title.  The cancellation must be indicated in the files of the office with an indication of the date and time of cancellation.
(d)  Before an electronic certificate of title is created, any certificate of title must be surrendered.  If an electronic certificate of title is created, any existing written certificate of title that has been surrendered to the office must be destroyed or otherwise canceled, with an indication in the files of the office of the date and time of destruction or other cancellation.  If the written certificate of title being canceled is not destroyed, the cancellation must be indicated on the face of the written certificate of title.
SECTION 16.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-9-816 of Title 12A, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
TRANSFER.
(a)  Upon sale of a vehicle covered by a certificate of title, a person authorized to execute the certificate of title, as promptly as practicable and in compliance with this act and the laws of this state other than this act, shall execute the certificate to the buyer or deliver to the office a signed certificate of title or a record evidencing execution of an electronic certificate of title to the buyer.  The buyer of a vehicle covered by a certificate of title has a specifically enforceable right to require the seller to execute the certificate of title to the buyer or deliver to the office a signed certificate of title or other record evidencing the transfer.
(b)  Execution of a certificate of title created by a governmental agency of any jurisdiction satisfies subsection (a) of this section.
(c)  As between the parties to a transfer and their assignees and successors, a transfer of ownership is not rendered ineffective by a failure to execute a certificate of title or certificate of origin as provided in this section.  However, except as otherwise provided in subsections (b) and (c) of Section 18 of this act, or Sections 19, 21, or 22 of this act, a transfer of ownership without execution of a certificate of title or certificate of origin is not effective as to other persons claiming an interest in the vehicle.
(d)  Before an agreement to transfer ownership by an electronic certificate of title is made or any consideration for the transfer is paid, and before a record evidencing the transfer is executed to the transferee or delivered by the transferor to the office, the transferor shall deliver to the transferee a signed record containing the information required by subsection (b) of Section 9 of this act, and the transferee shall deliver to the transferor a signed record acknowledging receipt of the information.  The transferee has a specifically enforceable right to receive this information before any consideration is paid.  The record delivered to the office must indicate that these requirements have been met.
(e)  After execution of the certificate of title and delivery of possession of the vehicle to the transferee, the transferor is not liable as owner for any damages resulting from operation of the vehicle thereafter even if the transferee fails to apply for a new certificate of title reflecting the transfer.
SECTION 17.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-9-817 of Title 12A, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
NOTICE OF TRANSFER WITHOUT APPLICATION.
A transferee or transferor, in accordance with standards and procedures established by the office, may deliver a signed record to the office giving notice of the transfer, to indicate its ownership or lack of ownership, without filing an application for a certificate of title.  The record may indicate the transfer of ownership between the transferor and transferee.  The record is not a certificate of title and is not effective as to other persons claiming an interest in the vehicle.  The delivery to the office of the record containing the notice does not relieve any party of any obligation under Section 9 or 16 of this act.
SECTION 18.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-9-818 of Title 12A, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
POWER TO TRANSFER.
(a)  A purchaser of a vehicle has the protections afforded by Sections 2‑403(1), 2A‑304(1), and 2A‑305(1) of this title.
(b)  A buyer in ordinary course of business or lessee in ordinary course of business of a vehicle has the protections afforded by Sections 2‑403(2), 2A‑304(2), and 2A‑305(2) of this title, even if the certificate of title is not executed to the buyer or lessee.
(c)  A purchase of a leasehold interest is subject to Section 2A‑303 of this title.
(d)  Except as otherwise provided in Section 16 of this act, the rights of other purchasers of vehicles and of lien creditors are governed by Articles 2, 2A, 7, and 9 of this title.
SECTION 19.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-9-819 of Title 12A, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
OTHER TRANSFEREES OF VEHICLE COVERED BY CERTIFICATE OF TITLE.
(a)  Except as otherwise provided in this section or subsection (b) of Section 18 of this act, a transferee of ownership takes subject to:
(1)  a security interest in the vehicle indicated on a certificate of title; and
(2)  if the certificate of title contains a statement that the vehicle is or may be subject to security interests not indicated on the certificate of title, a security interest not so indicated.
(b)  If, while a security interest in a vehicle is perfected by any method under the law of any jurisdiction, the office creates a certificate of title that does not indicate the vehicle is subject to the security interest or contain a statement that it may be subject to security interests not indicated on the certificate, a buyer of the vehicle, other than a person in the business of selling or leasing goods of that kind, takes free of the security interest if the buyer:
(1)  gives value in good faith, receives possession of the vehicle, and obtains execution of the certificate of title; and
(2)  does not have knowledge of the security interest in the vehicle.
(c)  A buyer in ordinary course of business takes free of a security interest in the vehicle, including a security interest indicated on a certificate of title, created by the buyer’s seller, even if the security interest is perfected, the buyer knows of its existence, and the certificate of title was not executed to the buyer.  A lessee in ordinary course of business takes its leasehold interest free of a security interest in the vehicle, including a security interest indicated on a certificate of title, created by the lessee’s lessor, even if the security interest is perfected, the lessee knows of its existence, and the certificate of title was not executed to the lessee.  This subsection does not affect a security interest in a vehicle in the possession of the secured party under Article 9 of this title.
(d)  If, while a security interest in a vehicle is perfected by any method under the law of any jurisdiction, the office creates a certificate of title that does not indicate that the vehicle is subject to the security interest or contain a statement that it may be subject to security interests not indicated on the certificate of title, the security interest is subordinate to a conflicting security interest in the vehicle which is perfected after creation of the certificate of title and without the conflicting secured party’s knowledge of the security interest.
(e)  A security interest is indicated on an electronic certificate of title if it is indicated in the record of the certificate of title maintained by the office.
SECTION 20.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-9-820 of Title 12A, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
EFFECT OF OMISSION OR INCORRECT INFORMATION.
(a)  Except as otherwise provided in this section, a certificate of title, certificate of origin, security-interest statement, or other record required or authorized by this act is effective even if it contains incorrect information or does not contain required information.
(b)  In addition to any rights provided under Section 18 or 19 of this act, if a certificate of title, certificate of origin, security-interest statement, or other record required or authorized by this act is seriously misleading because it contains incorrect information or omits required information, a purchaser of the vehicle to which the record relates takes free of any interest that would have been indicated in the record if the correct or omitted information had been indicated, to the extent that the purchaser gives value in reasonable reliance on the incorrect information or the absence of the omitted information.
(c)  Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d) of this section or subsection (c) of Section 25 of this act, a description of a vehicle, including the vehicle identification number, in a certificate of title, certificate of origin, security-interest statement, or other record required or authorized by this act which otherwise satisfies this act is not seriously misleading, even if not specific and accurate, if the description reasonably identifies the vehicle.
(d)  With respect to a security interest or other interest indicated in the files of the office and not indicated on a written certificate of title, a failure to indicate the information specifically or accurately is not seriously misleading if a search of the files of the office using the correct vehicle identification number or other required information, using the office’s standard search logic, if any, would disclose the security interest or other interest.
SECTION 21.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-9-821 of Title 12A, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
TRANSFER BY SECURED PARTY’S TRANSFER STATEMENT.
(a)  In this section, “secured party’s transfer statement” means a record signed by the secured party of record stating:
(1)  that the owner of record has defaulted on an obligation to the secured party of record;
(2)  that the secured party of record is exercising or has exercised post-default remedies with respect to the vehicle;
(3)  that, by reason of the exercise, the secured party of record has the right to transfer the rights of the owner of record;
(4)  the name and last known mailing address of:
(A)	the owner of record;
(B)	the secured party of record; and
(C)	any other purchaser;
(5)  any other information required by subsection (b) of Section 9 of this act; and
(6)  that the certificate of title is an electronic certificate of title, or that the secured party does not have possession of the written certificate of title created in the name of the owner of record, or that the secured party is delivering the written certificate of title to the office with the secured party’s transfer statement.
(b)  Completion and delivery to the office of a secured party’s transfer statement, and payment of all applicable taxes and fees, entitles the secured party to the creation of a certificate of title showing the secured party of record or other purchaser as the owner of record.  Unless the secured party’s transfer statement is rejected by the office for a reason set forth in subsection (c) of Section 10 of this act, the office shall:
(1)  accept the secured party’s transfer statement;
(2)  amend the files of the office to reflect the transfer;
(3)  cancel the certificate of title created in the name of the owner of record listed in the secured party’s transfer statement, whether or not the certificate of title has been delivered to the office;
(4)  create a new certificate of title indicating the secured party of record or other purchaser as the vehicle’s owner of record; and
(5)  deliver the new certificate of title pursuant to Section 15 of this act.
(c)  The creation of a certificate of title under subsection (b) of this section is not of itself a disposition of the vehicle and does not of itself relieve the secured party of its duties under Article 9 of this title.
SECTION 22.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-9-822 of Title 12A, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
TRANSFER BY OPERATION OF LAW.
(a)  In this section:
(1)  “By operation of law” means pursuant to a law or judicial order affecting ownership of a vehicle:
(A)	on account of death, divorce or other family law proceeding, merger, consolidation, dissolution, or bankruptcy;
(B)	through the exercise of the rights of a lien creditor or a person having a statutory or common law lien or other nonconsensual lien; or
(C)	through other legal process.
(2)  “Transfer-by-law statement” means a record signed by a transferee stating that, by operation of law, the transferee has acquired or has the right to acquire the ownership interest of the owner of record and containing:
(A)	the name and mailing address of the owner of record and the transferee and the other information required by subsection (b) of Section 9 of this act;
(B)	documentation sufficient to establish the transferee’s interest or right to acquire the ownership interest of the owner of record; and
(C)	a statement that:
(i)	the certificate of title is an electronic certificate of title;
(ii)	the transferee does not have possession of the written certificate of title created in the name of the owner of record; or
(iii)	the transferee is delivering the written certificate of title to the office with the transfer-by-law statement.
(b)  If a transfer-by-law statement is delivered to the office with all taxes and fees and documentation satisfactory to the office as to the transferee’s ownership interest or right to acquire the ownership interest of the owner of record, unless it is rejected by the office for a reason set forth in subsection (c) of Section 10 of this act, the office shall:
(1)  accept delivery of the transfer-by-law statement;
(2)  promptly send notice to the owner of record and to all persons indicated in the files of the office as having an interest, including a security interest, in the vehicle that a transfer-by-law statement has been delivered to the office;
(3)  amend the files of the office to reflect the transfer;
(4)  cancel the certificate of title created in the name of the owner of record indicated in the transfer-by-law statement, whether or not the certificate has been delivered to the office;
(5)  create a new certificate of title, indicating the transferee as owner of record; and
(6)  deliver the new certificate of title.
(c)  This section does not apply to a transfer of an interest in a vehicle by a secured party under Article 9 of this title or Section 21 of this act.
SECTION 23.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-9-823 of Title 12A, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
APPLICATION FOR TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP OR TERMINATION OF SECURITY-INTEREST STATEMENT WITHOUT CERTIFICATE OF TITLE OR CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN.
(a)  Except as otherwise provided in Section 21 or 22 of this act, upon receiving an application that includes an indication of a transfer of ownership or a direction to terminate a security-interest statement but is not accompanied by submission of a signed certificate of title or certificate of origin or, as applicable, a termination statement pursuant to Section 27 of this act, the office may create a certificate of title or terminate the security-interest statement under this section only if:
(1)  all other requirements under Sections 9 and 10 of this act are met;
(2)  the applicant has provided an affidavit stating facts that indicate the applicant is entitled to a transfer of ownership or termination of the effectiveness of a security-interest statement;
(3)  at least forty-five (45) days before the office creates the certificate of title, the office has sent notice of the application to all persons having an interest in the vehicle as indicated in the files of the office and no objection from any of those persons has been received by the office; and
(4)  the applicant submits any other information required by the office to evidence the applicant’s ownership or right to termination of the security-interest statement, and the office has no credible information indicating theft, fraud, or any undisclosed or unsatisfied security interest, lien, or other claim to an interest in the vehicle.
(b)  Unless the office determines, by any reasonable method, that the value of the vehicle is less than Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000.00), before creating a certificate of title, the office may require an applicant under subsection (a) of this section to post a bond or provide an equivalent source of indemnity or security.  The bond, indemnity, or other security must be in a form prescribed by the office and provide for indemnification of any owner, purchaser, or other claimant for any expense, loss, delay, or damage, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs but not consequential damages, resulting from creation of a certificate of title or termination of a security-interest statement, but may not exceed twice the value of the vehicle as determined by the office.
(c)  If the office has not received a claim for indemnity within one year after creation of the certificate of title under subsection (a) of this section, upon request in a form and manner specified by the office, the office shall release any bond, indemnity, or other security.
(d)  The office may indicate in a certificate of title created under subsection (a) of this section that the certificate of title was created without submission of a signed certificate of title or termination statement.  If no credible information indicating theft, fraud, or any undisclosed or unsatisfied security interest, lien, or other claim to an interest in the vehicle has been delivered to the office within one (1) year after creation of the certificate of title, upon request in a form and manner specified by the office, the office shall remove the indication from the certificate of title.
SECTION 24.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-9-824 of Title 12A, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
REPLACEMENT CERTIFICATE OF TITLE.
(a)  If a written certificate of title is lost, stolen, mutilated, destroyed, or otherwise becomes unavailable or illegible, the secured party of record or, if there is no secured party indicated in the files of the office, the owner of record may apply for and, by furnishing information satisfactory to the office, obtain a replacement certificate of title in the name of the owner of record.
(b)  An application for a replacement certificate of title must be submitted in a record signed by the applicant and, except as otherwise permitted by the office, must comply with Section 9 of this act.
(c)  Unless it has been lost, stolen, or destroyed or is otherwise unavailable, the existing written certificate of title must be submitted to the office with an application for a replacement certificate of title.
(d)  A replacement certificate of title created by the office must comply with Section 11 of this act and indicate on the face of the certificate of title that it is a replacement certificate of title.
(e)  If a person receiving a replacement certificate of title subsequently obtains possession of the original written certificate of title, the person shall promptly destroy the original written certificate of title.
SECTION 25.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-9-825 of Title 12A, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
EFFECTIVENESS OF SECURITY-INTEREST STATEMENT.
(a)  A security-interest statement is sufficient if it includes the name of the debtor, the name of the secured party or a representative of the secured party, a description that reasonably identifies the vehicle and is not seriously misleading under Section 20 of this act, and is delivered as follows: 
(A)	if the security-interest statement is indicated on an application for which the office is required to create a certificate of title, by the owner; or 
(B)	if the security-interest statement is not indicated on an application for which the office is required to create a certificate of title, by a person authorized to file an initial financing statement covering the vehicle pursuant to Section 1-9-509 of this title. 
(b)  A security-interest statement that is sufficient under subsection (a) of this section is effective upon receipt by the office.
(c)  Subject to subsections (e) and (f) of this section, a security-interest statement is not received if the office rejects the statement pursuant to subsection (e) of this section.  The office may reject a security-interest statement only in the manner specified in subsection (e) of this section and only if:
(1)  the record is not delivered by a means authorized by the office;
(2)  an amount equal to or greater than the required filing fee is not tendered with the statement or, if the office elects to notify the secured party of the filing fee deficiency, within seven (7) days after the notification has been given;
(3)  the record does not include the name and mailing address of a debtor and a secured party or a representative of a secured party;
(4)  the record does not contain the vehicle identification number; or
(5)  the office cannot identify a file of the office, certificate of title, or application for a certificate of title to which the security-interest statement relates.
(d)  The office shall maintain files of the office showing the date of receipt of each security-interest statement that is not rejected and shall make this information available on request.
(e)  To reject a security-interest statement, the office must send notice of rejection to the person that delivered the statement, indicating the reasons for the rejection and the date the statement would have been received had the office not rejected it. 
(f)  If the office does not send notice of rejection under subsection (e) of this section, the security-interest statement is received as of the time it was delivered to the office.  Confirmation by the office that the security-interest statement has been entered in the files of the office is conclusive proof that receipt has occurred.
(g)  If a security-interest statement sufficient under subsection (a) of this section is tendered with the filing fee and the office sends a notice of rejection without indicating a reason set forth in subsection (c) of this section, the security-interest statement is effective as of the business day on which the statement was tendered to the office except as against a purchaser of the vehicle which gives value in reasonable reliance upon the absence of the security-interest statement from the files of the office.
(h)  Failure of the office to index a security-interest statement correctly or to indicate the security interest on the certificate of title does not affect the receipt of the security-interest statement.
SECTION 26.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-9-826 of Title 12A, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST.
(a)  Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b), (d), or (e) of this section, a security interest in a vehicle may be perfected only by a security-interest statement that is effective under Section 25 of this act.  The security interest is perfected upon the later of receipt of the security-interest statement under Section 25 of this act or attachment of the security interest under Section 
1-9‑203 of this title.
(b)  If the office creates a certificate of title naming a lessor, consignor, bailor, or secured party as owner and the interest of the person named as owner is a security interest, the certificate of title serves as a security-interest statement that provides the name of the person as secured party.  If the interest of the person named as owner in an application for a certificate of title delivered to the office in accordance with Section 9 of this act is a security interest, the application is a security-interest statement that provides the name of the person as secured party.  The naming of the person as owner on the application or certificate of title is not of itself a factor in determining whether the interest is a security interest.
(c)  If a secured party assigns a perfected security interest in a vehicle, the receipt by the office of a security-interest statement providing the name of the transferee or its representative as secured party is not required in order to continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the original debtor.  However, a purchaser of a vehicle subject to a security interest which obtains a release from the secured party indicated in the files of the office or on the certificate of title takes free of the security interest and of the rights of a transferee if the transfer is not indicated in the files of the office and on the certificate of title.
(d)  This section does not apply to a security interest in a vehicle created by a person during any period in which the vehicle is inventory held for sale or lease by the person or is leased by the person as lessor if the person is in the business of selling goods of that kind.
(e)  A security interest is perfected to the extent provided in Section 1-9-316(d) of this title.  A secured party may also perfect a security interest by taking possession of a vehicle only pursuant to Sections 1-9‑313(b) and 1-9‑316(d) of this title.
SECTION 27.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-9-827 of Title 12A, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
TERMINATION STATEMENT.
(a)  A secured party indicated in the files of the office as having a security interest in a vehicle shall deliver to the office and, upon the debtor’s request, to the debtor, a signed termination statement if:
(1)  there is no obligation secured by the vehicle subject to the security interest and no commitment to make an advance, incur an obligation, or otherwise give value secured by the vehicle; or
(2)  the debtor did not authorize the filing of the security-interest statement.
(b)  A secured party indicated in the files of the office as having a security interest in a vehicle shall deliver a signed termination statement to the debtor or the office upon the earlier of:
(1)  thirty (30) days after there is no obligation secured by the vehicle subject to the security-interest statement and no commitment to make an advance, incur an obligation, or otherwise give value secured by the vehicle; or
(2)  fourteen (14) days after the secured party receives a signed demand from an owner and there is no obligation secured by the vehicle subject to the security interest and no commitment to make an advance, incur an obligation, or otherwise give value secured by the vehicle.
(c)  If a written certificate of title has been created and delivered to a secured party and a termination statement is required under subsection (a) of this section, the secured party, within the time provided in subsection (b) of this section, shall deliver the written certificate of title to the debtor or the office with the termination statement.  If the written certificate is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed or is otherwise unavailable or illegible, the secured party shall deliver with the termination statement, within the time provided in subsection (b) of this section, an application for a replacement certificate of title meeting the requirements of Section 24 of this act.
(d)  Upon the delivery of a termination statement to the office pursuant to this section, the security-interest statement and any indication of the security interest on the certificate of title to which the termination statement relates ceases to be effective.  The files of the office must indicate the date and time of delivery of the termination statement to the office.
(e)  A secured party is liable for damages in the amount of any loss caused by its failure to comply with this section and for the reasonable cost of an application for a certificate of title under Section 9 or 24 of this act.
SECTION 28.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-9-828 of Title 12A, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:
DUTIES AND OPERATION OF FILING OFFICE.
(a)  The files of the office must indicate the information provided in security-interest statements and termination statements received by the office under Section 25 or 27 of this act for at least ten (10) years after termination of the security-interest statement under Section 27 of this act.  The information must be accessible by the vehicle identification number for the vehicle and any other indexing methods provided by the office.
(b)  The office shall send to a person that submits a record to the office, or submits information that is accepted by the office, and requests an acknowledgment of the filing or submission, an acknowledgment showing the vehicle identification number of the vehicle to which the record or submission relates, the information in the filed record or submission, and the date and time the record was received or the submission accepted.  A request under this section must contain the vehicle identification number and be delivered by means authorized by the office.
(c)  The office shall send or otherwise make available in a record the following information to any person that requests it:
(1)  whether the files of the office indicate, as of a date and time specified by the office, but not a date earlier than three (3) business days before the office received the request, any certificate of title, security-interest statement, or termination statement that relates to a vehicle identified by a vehicle identification number designated in the request; and 
(2)  the name of the owner of record and the effective date of all security-interest statements and termination statements indicated in the files of the office.
(d)  In responding to a request under this section, the office may communicate the requested information in any medium.  However, if requested, the office shall send the requested information in a record that is self-authenticating under Section 2902 of Title 12 of the Oklahoma Statutes.
(e)  The office shall comply with this section at the time and in the manner prescribed by the rules of the office but shall respond to requests under this section not later than two (2) business days after the office receives the request.
SECTION 29.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-9-829 of Title 12A, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:

This act modifies, limits, and supersedes the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (15 U.S.C. Section 7001, et seq.) but does not modify, limit, or supersede Section 101(c) of that act (15 U.S.C. Section 7001(c)) or authorize electronic delivery of any of the notices described in Section 103(b) of that act (15 U.S.C. Section 7003(b)).
SECTION 31.     NEW LAW     A new section of law to be codified in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 1-9-831 of Title 12A, unless there is created a duplication in numbering, reads as follows:

(b)  A transaction, certificate of title, or record that was validly entered into or created before the effective date of this act and would be subject to this act if it had been entered into or created on or after the effective date of this act, and the rights, duties, and interests flowing from the transaction, certificate of title, or record remains valid after the effective date of this act.
(c)  This act does not affect an action or proceeding commenced before the effective date of this act.
(d)  A security interest that is enforceable immediately before the effective date of this act and would have priority over the rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor at that time is a perfected security interest under this act.
(e)  This act does not affect the priority of a security interest in a vehicle if immediately before the effective date of this act the security interest is enforceable and perfected, and that priority is established.
