§9-1311. Perfection of security interests in property subject to certain statutes, regulations and treaties
(1).
Except as otherwise provided in subsection (4), the filing of a financing statement is not necessary or effective to perfect a security interest in property subject to:
(a).
A statute, regulation, or treaty of the United States whose requirements for a security interest's obtaining priority over the rights of a lien creditor with respect to the property preempt section 9‑1310, subsection (1);
[PL 1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §4 (AFF).]
(b).
Title 29‑A, chapter 7; or
[PL 1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §4 (AFF).]
(c).
A statute of another jurisdiction that provides for a security interest to be indicated on a certificate of title as a condition or result of the security interest's obtaining priority over the rights of a lien creditor with respect to the property.
[PL 2013, c. 317, Pt. A, §13 (AMD).]
[PL 2013, c. 317, Pt. A, §13 (AMD).]
(2).
Compliance with the requirements of a statute, regulation or treaty described in subsection (1) for obtaining priority over the rights of a lien creditor is equivalent to the filing of a financing statement under this Article. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (4) and sections 9‑1313 and 9‑1316, subsections (4) and (5) for goods covered by a certificate of title, a security interest in property subject to a statute, regulation or treaty described in subsection (1) may be perfected only by compliance with those requirements, and a security interest so perfected remains perfected notwithstanding a change in the use or transfer of possession of the collateral.
[PL 1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §4 (AFF).]
(3).
Except as otherwise provided in subsection (4) and section 9‑1316, subsection (4) and (5), duration and renewal of perfection of a security interest perfected by compliance with the requirements prescribed by a statute, regulation or treaty described in subsection (1) are governed by the statute, regulation or treaty. In other respects, the security interest is subject to this Article.
[PL 1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §4 (AFF).]
(4).
During any period in which collateral subject to a statute specified in subsection (1), paragraph (b), is inventory held for sale or lease by a person or leased by that person as lessor and that person is in the business of selling goods of that kind, this section does not apply to a security interest in that collateral created by that person.
[PL 1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §4 (AFF).]
