uniform commercial code, as added by chapter 208 of the laws of 1990, is
amended to read as follows:

       lishing the fact (subsection (B)(8) of section [1-201] 1--201).
  S 2. Subsection 1 of section 4-A-106 of the uniform  commercial  code,
as  added  by  chapter  208  of  the laws of 1990, is amended to read as

off  times  may  apply  to  different  senders  or categories of payment
orders. If a payment order or communication  cancelling  or  amending  a
payment  order  is received after the close of a funds-transfer business

received at the opening of the next funds-transfer business day.
  S  3.  Subsection 2 of section 4-A-204 of the uniform commercial code,
as added by chapter 208 of the laws of  1990,  is  amended  to  read  as

gation of a receiving bank to refund payment as stated in subsection (1)
may not otherwise be varied by agreement.

this section, paragraphs (9) and  (10)  of  subsection  (a)  of  section
5--102,  subsection (d) of section 5--106, and subsection (d) of section
5--114, and except to the  extent  prohibited  in  [subsection  (3)  of]
section [1--102] 1--302 and subsection (d) of section 5--117, the effect
of  this  article may be varied by agreement or by a provision stated or
incorporated by reference in an undertaking. A term in an  agreement  or
undertaking  generally excusing liability or generally limiting remedies
for failure to perform obligations is not sufficient to vary obligations
prescribed by this article.

as amended by chapter 170 of the laws of 1994, is  amended  to  read  as

certification or authentication by the head of the hospital, laboratory,
department  or  bureau of a municipal corporation or of the state, or by
an employee delegated for that purpose  or  by  a  qualified  physician.
Where  a  hospital  record  is in the custody of a warehouse[, or "ware-
houseman"] as that term is defined by paragraph [(h) of subdivision one]
THIRTEEN OF SUBSECTION (A) of section  [7-102]  7--102  of  the  uniform
commercial  code,  pursuant  to  a plan approved in writing by the state

established by a certification made by the manager of the warehouse that
sets  forth (i) the authority by which the record is held, including but
not limited to a court order, order of the  commissioner,  or  order  or
resolution  of  the governing body or official of the hospital, and (ii)
that the record has been in the exclusive custody of such warehouse  [or
warehousemen] since its receipt from the hospital or, if another has had
access  to it, the name and address of such person and the date on which
and the circumstances under which such access was had.  Any  [warehouse-
man] WAREHOUSE providing a certification as required by this subdivision
shall  have  no liability for acts or omissions relating thereto, except
for intentional misconduct, and the [warehouseman] WAREHOUSE is  author-
ized to assess and collect a reasonable charge for providing the certif-
ication described by this subdivision.
  S 6. Section 200 of the lien law, as amended by chapter 30 of the laws
of 1968, is amended to read as follows:

ment hotel, inn, boarding-house or lodging-house,  except  an  immigrant
lodging-house,  if  in the legal possession of the lienor, may be satis-
fied by the sale of such property according to the  provisions  of  this

(subject to the limitations on choice of law by the parties to a consum-
er lease under section 2-A-106 of the uniform commercial code), or  such
contract  is  otherwise governed by the laws of this state in accordance
with applicable conflict of laws rules, and (b) the  lessee  under  such
contract is located within this state, within the meaning of the uniform
commercial code (with respect to the location of debtors), except that a

shall not be deemed located in this state solely as a result of having a
designated office of an agent upon whom service of process may  be  made
located in this state.

amended by chapter 689 of the laws of  1984,  are  amended  to  read  as

bank or trust company or  national  bank  for  any  deposit  theretofore
received  and thereafter to be repaid by it, and for any contract there-

territory concerned, any property  situated  in  or  any  amount  to  be
received in such foreign territory and carried as an asset of any office
of such foreign banking corporation in such foreign territory is seized,
destroyed  or  cancelled,  then  the liability, if any, in this state of
such foreign banking corporation for any  deposit  theretofore  received
and thereafter to be repaid by it, and for any contract theretofore made
and  thereafter  to  be  performed  by it, at any office in such foreign
territory shall be reduced pro tanto by the proportion  that  the  value

ration, at the time of such seizure,  destruction  or  cancellation)  of
such  assets  bears  to  the  aggregate  of all the deposit and contract

liabilities of the office or offices of such foreign banking corporation

rated or resident in any state of the United States.

that  of  the  lessor.  The  term  does  not include a retail instalment

amended  financing  statement.  (1) Provided he or she is an employee of
the state or a political subdivision thereof, a person identified  as  a
debtor in a financing statement filed pursuant to this subpart may bring
a  special  proceeding  against the named filer of such statement or any
amendment thereof to invalidate the filing or  amendment  thereof  where
such statement was falsely filed or amended; except that an attorney who
is  not  an employee of the state or a political subdivision thereof may
also bring a special proceeding hereunder where he or she represents  or
has represented the respondent therein in a criminal court. Such special
proceeding  shall  be governed by article four of the civil practice law
and rules, and shall be commenced in the supreme court of Albany county,
the county of the petitioner's residence or a county within the judicial
district in which any property covered by  the  financing  statement  is
located. No fee pursuant to article eighty of the civil practice law and
rules shall be collected in such special proceeding.
  (2) The petition in a special proceeding hereunder shall plead that:
  (A)  the financing statement filed or amended by the respondent pursu-
ant to section 9--509 was falsely filed or amended to retaliate for: (i)
the performance of the petitioner's official duties in his or her capac-
ity as an employee of the state or a political subdivision  thereof,  or
(ii)  in  the case of a special proceeding brought by an attorney who is
not an employee of the state or  a  political  subdivision  thereof,  to
retaliate  for  the performance of the petitioner's duties in his or her
capacity as an attorney for the respondent in a criminal court; and
  (B) such financing statement does not  relate  to  an  interest  in  a
consumer-goods transaction, a commercial transaction, or any other actu-
al transaction between the petitioner and the respondent; and
  (C) the collateral covered in such financing statement is the property
of the petitioner; and
  (D)  prompt  redaction  or  invalidation of the financing statement is
necessary to avert or mitigate prejudice to the petitioner.
  (3) If the court makes a written finding that the allegations in para-
graph two of this subsection are established, the court shall order  the
expungement  of such statement or its redaction in the public records in
the office in which the financing statement is  filed,  as  appropriate,
and  may  grant  any  additional relief authorized by section 9--625. In
such case, the court shall cause a copy of its order to  be  filed  with
the  secretary  of  state or other appropriate filing office pursuant to
this chapter. Upon a finding  that  the  respondent  has  engaged  in  a
repeated  pattern  of  false filings as found under this subsection, the
court also may enjoin the respondent from filing or amending any further
financing statement pursuant to this article without leave of the court.
If the respondent is incarcerated at the time the court issues an  order
containing  such  an  injunction,  the court shall cause the head of the
correctional facility in which the respondent is incarcerated to receive

S. 5502--A                          9

a copy of such determination. The head of such a facility shall cause  a
copy of such order to be provided to the respondent. In any instances of
the  issuance  of such an injunction where the respondent has defaulted,
the court shall direct service of such injunction upon the respondent.

however, that:
  (a) With respect to sections fifteen through  nineteen  of  this  act,
subject  to subdivision (b) of this section, a "transaction entered into
on or after December 17, 2014" shall mean the creation of an enforceable
security interest between the debtor and the secured party  pursuant  to
an  agreement  originally  entered into on or after December 17, 2014. A
term sheet or other proposal for the creation  of  a  security  interest
shall not constitute a "transaction."
  (b)  A  "transaction entered into on or after December 17, 2014" shall
also include any enforceable security interest created  pursuant  to  an
agreement  originally  entered  into prior to December 17, 2014 that has

restatement expressly provides that the parties intend that the security
interest thereunder constitute a "transaction" subject to this section.

an  agreement  originally  entered into prior to December 17, 2014, (ii)

sion (b) of this section, constitute a "transaction entered into  on  or
after December 17, 2014" within the meaning of this section.  Similarly,
except  as  otherwise  provided  in  subdivision  (d)  of  this section,
sections fifteen through nineteen of this act shall not apply to actions
taken on  or  after  December  17,  2014  to  perfect  or  maintain  the
perfection  of  a  security interest unless the creation of the security
interest to which such perfection relates shall constitute a transaction
within the meaning of either this subdivision or subdivision (a) of this
section.

  (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this act shall apply to all initial
financing statements filed on or after December 17, 2014  regardless  of

financing  statements  filed prior to December 17, 2014 or to any amend-
ments thereof regardless of when such amendments are filed even if  such
financing  statements  relate to a "transaction entered into on or after
December 17, 2014."
  (e) This act shall not apply to a document of title that is issued  or
a bailment that arises before the effective date of this act.
