Current through Laws 2024, c. 453.
Section 1-9-311 - Perfection of security interests in property subject to certain statutes, regulations, and treaties
(a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d) of this section, 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 subsection (a) of Section 1-9-310 of this title;
(2) another statute of this state that provides for central filing of, or that requires indication on or delivery for indication on a certificate of title of, any security interest in the property as a condition or result of perfection, including, but not limited to, Section 1110 of Title 47 and Section 4013 of Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes;
(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; or
(4) the law or procedure of a federally recognized Indian tribe, if the security interest is in a vehicle registered or to be registered by the federally recognized Indian tribe and if within thirty (30) days after the security interest attaches, it is noted on the face of a certificate of title issued by the Indian tribe or, notwithstanding subsection G of Section 1110 of Title 47 of the Oklahoma Statutes, the security interest is otherwise perfected under an applicable law or procedure of that tribe.
(b) Compliance with the requirements of a statute, regulation, or treaty described in subsection (a) of this section for obtaining priority over the rights of a lien creditor is equivalent to the filing of a financing statement under this article. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d) of this section and Section 1-9-313 and subsections (d) and (e) of Section 1-9-316 of this title for goods covered by a certificate of title, a security interest in property subject to a statute, regulation, or treaty described in subsection (a) of this section 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) of this section and subsections (d) and (e) of Section 1-9-316 of this title, 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) of this section are governed by the statute, regulation, or treaty. In other respects, the security interest is subject to this article.
(d) During any period in which collateral, described in Section 1110 of Title 47 and Section 4013 of Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes, 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 as debtor.
