The 2022 amendments update the provisions of the UCC related
to secured transactions by:
! Addressing security interests and rights to payment related
to controllable electronic records;
! Specifying how to perfect security interests in controllable
accounts and controllable payment intangibles;
! Updating the definition of "chattel paper" to distinguish
between a right to payment and the record evidencing the
right to payment;
! Updating definitions related to money generally, including
creating a new definition of "electronic money"; and
! Creating a new definition of "assignee" and "assignor".
The bill creates a new article within the UCC that governs the
transfer of property rights in certain intangible digital assets that have
been or may be created and may involve the use of new technologies,
including such assets as certain types of virtual currency and nonfungible
tokens.
The bill provides guidance for which laws apply during the
transition from the current UCC to the UCC as amended by the bill.

communication. A security procedure
MAY IMPOSE AN OBLIGATION ON8
THE RECEIVING BANK OR THE CUSTOMER AND may require the use of9

numbers, SYMBOLS,10
SOUNDS, BIOMETRICS, encryption, callback procedures, or similar security11
devices. Comparison of a signature on a payment order or communication12

authorized, if (i) the security procedure is a commercially reasonable23
method of providing security against unauthorized payment orders and24
(ii) the bank proves that it accepted the payment order in good faith and25
in compliance with
THE BANK'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER the security26
procedure and any written
agreement or instruction of the customer,27
090
-15- EVIDENCED BY A RECORD, restricting acceptance of payment orders issued1
in the name of the customer. The bank is not required to follow an2
instruction that violates a written AN agreement with the customer,3
EVIDENCED BY A RECORD, or notice of which is not received at a time and4
in a manner affording the bank a reasonable opportunity to act on it5
before the payment order is accepted.6
(c) Commercial reasonableness of a security procedure is a7
question of law to be determined by considering the wishes of the8
customer expressed to the bank; the circumstances of the customer known9
to the bank, including the size, type, and frequency of payment orders10
normally issued by the customer to the bank; alternative security11
procedures offered to the customer; and security procedures in general12
use by customers and receiving banks similarly situated. A security13
procedure is deemed to be commercially reasonable if (i) the security14
procedure was chosen by the customer after the bank offered, and the15
customer refused, a security procedure that was commercially reasonable16
for that customer and (ii) the customer expressly agreed in writing A17
RECORD to be bound by any payment order, whether or not authorized,18
issued in its name and accepted by the bank in compliance with
THE19
BANK'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER the security procedure chosen by the20

as an order of the customer pursuant to section 4-4.5-202 (b), the27
090
-16- following rules apply:1
(1) By express written agreement EVIDENCED BY A RECORD, the2
receiving bank may limit the extent to which it is entitled to enforce or3
retain payment of the payment order.4
SECTION 28. In Colorado Revised Statutes, 4-4.5-207, amend5
(c)(2) as follows:6
4-4.5-207. Misdescription of beneficiary. (c) If (i) a payment7
order described in subsection (b) of this section is accepted, (ii) the8
originator's payment order described the beneficiary inconsistently by9
name and number, and (iii) the beneficiary's bank pays the person10
identified by number as permitted by subsection (b)(1) of this section, the11
following rules apply:12
(2) If the originator is not a bank and proves that the person13
identified by number was not entitled to receive payment from the14
originator, the originator is not obliged to pay its order unless the15
originator's bank proves that the originator, before acceptance of the16
originator's order, had notice that payment of a payment order issued by17
the originator might be made by the beneficiary's bank on the basis of an18
identifying or bank account number even if it identifies a person different19
from the named beneficiary. Proof of notice may be made by any20
admissible evidence. The originator's bank satisfies the burden of proof21
if it proves that the originator, before the payment order was accepted,22
signed a writing RECORD stating the information to which the notice23
relates.24
