Nebraska
Uniform
Commercial
Code: a link so you can read “Official
Comments” to the Uniform Commercial Code
(Nebraska) because the
Model Version appearing on the Cornell web
site does not have
permission to publish them. For example, read
Nebraska UCC
s.
9-203 and see the comments at the end of
that section.
Note—Nebraska publishes online an essentially
verbatim copy of
the true Official Comments to the UCC, in
addition to Nebraska
specific comments. It is easy to consult this
source to read
comments. And, for most purposes, you can use
the actual text of
the Nebraska UCC for study purposes. However,
as always, you
need to be on the alert for non-standard
amendments.
