DESCRIPTION

The proposed legislation would revise Articles 5 and 8 of the Uniform
Commercial Code Statutes and would bring the present law in conformity with
present requirements.  In Article 5, clarification would be made regarding
letters of credit with more defined standards of practice.  In Article 8, the
proposal would revise the attachment and perfection of security interests in
investment securities.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other
program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
