What it does

GENERAL. This bill amends Code chapter 554, Iowa’s version of the uniform commercial code (UCC), governing certain commercial transactions involving forms of personal electronic property that do not derive value from physical attributes (sometimes referred to as form of intangible personal property). In 2022, the general assembly enacted two bills dealing with these types of transactions: (1) new Article of the UCC (Code chapter 554) and referred to as the “Uniform Commercial Code —— Controllable Electronic Records” (2022 Iowa Acts, chapter 1117) and (2) new Code chapter 554E referring to smart contracts, distributed ledger technology, and digital assets (2022 Iowa Acts, chapter 1116).
