47-7106. Control of electronic document of
title


A. A person has control of an electronic document of title if a system employed for
evidencing the transfer of interests in the electronic document reliably establishes that
person as the person to which the electronic document was issued or transferred.


B. A system satisfies subsection A and a person is deemed to have control of an
electronic document of title if the document is created, stored and assigned in such a
manner that:


1. A single authoritative copy of the document exists that is unique, identifiable
and, except as otherwise provided in paragraphs 4, 5, and 6, unalterable;


2. The authoritative copy identifies the person asserting control as:


(a) The person to which the document was issued; or


(b) If the authoritative copy indicates that the document has been transferred, the
person to which the document was most recently transferred;


3. The authoritative copy is communicated to and maintained by the person asserting
control or its designated custodian;


4. Copies or amendments that add or change an identified assignee of the
authoritative copy can be made only with the consent of the person asserting control;


5. Each copy of the authoritative copy and any copy of a copy is readily
identifiable as a copy that is not the authoritative copy; and


6. Any amendment of the authoritative copy is readily identifiable as authorized or
unauthorized.
