(b). Category; [1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §2(NEW); 1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §4(AFF).]

(3). A description of collateral as "all the debtor's assets" or "all the debtor's personal property" or using words of similar import does not reasonably identify the collateral.

[1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §2(NEW); 1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §4(AFF).]

(4). Except as otherwise provided in subsection (5), a description of a security entitlement, securities account or commodity account is sufficient if it describes:

[1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §2(NEW); 1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §4(AFF).]

(5). A description only by type of collateral defined in this Title is an insufficient description of:

(b). In a consumer transaction, consumer goods, a security entitlement, a securities account or a commodity account. [1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §2(NEW); 1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §4(AFF).]
