          Amends the Secured Transactions Article  of  the  Uniform
      Commercial  Code.    Provides that "deposit account" includes
      certain accounts maintained with a bank as bank is defined in
      the Article  on  bank  deposits  and  collections.    Defines
      "non-negotiable certificate of deposit" and "non-transferable
      certificate  of  deposit" and includes them in the definition
      of "instrument".    Defines  "uncertificated  certificate  of
      deposit"  as  an obligation of a bank to repay a sum of money
      represented only by a writing in the books  of  the  bank  or
      documentation given to a customer, and provides that a filing
      is  not  required  to  perfect  a  security  interest  in  an
      uncertificated  certificate  of deposit, but such interest is
      perfected when the security agreement is signed, or when  the
      issuer  acknowledges  and consents to notice of perfection by
      the secured party.  Effective immediately.

10        inventory held for  sale  by  a  person  who  is  in  the

22    property  subject  to  the statute or treaty can be perfected
23    only by compliance therewith except as  provided  in  Section
24    9-103 on multiple state transactions. Duration and renewal of
