What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the bulk transfer provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) generally require a business enterprise to give creditors notice before any transfer of a major part of the value of the business's inventory or a substantial part of the equipment of the business, if the equipment is included with a bulk transfer of inventory. These provisions apply to all business enterprises whose principal business is the sale of merchandise from stock, including retailers of alcohol beverages. This bill repeals the bulk transfer provisions of the UCC.
The National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and the American Law Institute recommended repeal of the UCC bulk transfers law in 1989 and promulgated the official text. The American Bar Association approved the text in 1990.
