(b). That is created by statute or rule of law in favor of the person; and [1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §2(NEW); 1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §4(AFF).]
(c). Whose effectiveness depends on the person's possession of the goods. [1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §2(NEW); 1999, c. 699, Pt. A, §4(AFF).]

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