Generally revise the Uniform Commercial Code

The bill number changed from SB 426 to SB 426.1, indicating a revision or re-introduction of the legislation.

The title was updated to explicitly include a provision prohibiting Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in addition to updating rules for digital assets.

The definition of 'authenticate' was expanded to include executing symbols, encrypting records, and adopting them with the intent to identify a party and establish authenticity.

The definition of 'bank' was updated to explicitly include savings and loan associations, credit unions, and trust companies.

The method for discharging a claim after a breach was changed to require an 'authenticated signed record' instead of just an 'authenticated record'.

Removed the sponsor's name (V. Ricci) and the original descriptive title, replacing it with a formal title that explicitly lists prohibited CBDCs and amends specific UCC sections.

Removed the 'Authorized Print Version' and 'Enrolled Bill' headers found in the draft, indicating this is now the final version ready for signature.

Added a specific provision stating that a person buys goods in the ordinary course if the sale matches the seller's usual practices, with a specific mention of oil and gas.
