Ind. Code § 26-1-9.1-311

Current through P.L. 171-2024
Section 26-1-9.1-311 - Perfection of security interests in property subject to certain statutes, regulations, and treaties
(a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d), the filing of a financing statement is not necessary or effective to perfect a security interest in property subject to:
(1) 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 IC 26-1-9.1-310(a);
(2) any Indiana statute covering automobiles, trailers, mobile homes, or boats, which provides for a security interest to be indicated on a certificate of title as a condition or result of perfection; or
(3) a statute of another jurisdiction which 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.
(b) Compliance with the requirements of a statute, regulation, or treaty described in subsection (a) for obtaining priority over the rights of a lien creditor is equivalent to the filing of a financing statement under IC 26-1-9.1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d), IC 26-1-9.1-313, IC 26-1-9.1-316(d), and IC 26-1-9.1-316(e) for goods covered by a certificate of title, a security interest in property subject to a statute, regulation, or treaty described in subsection (a) 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.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d), IC 26-1-9.1-316(d), and IC 26-1-9.1-316(e), 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 (a) are governed by the statute, regulation, or treaty. In other respects, the security interest is subject to IC 26-1-9.1.
(d) During any period in which collateral, subject to a statute specified in subsection (a)(2), 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, but instead, the filing provisions of IC 26-1-9.1-501 through IC 26-1-9.1-527 apply.
