Uniform Commercial Code - As enacted, specifies that a filing office in receipt of a petition for review filed by a secured party contesting a public official's affidavit that a financing statement was filed without legal cause submit the UCC financing statement that is the subject of the petition and the notarized affidavit of the public official to the administrative procedures division of the office of the secretary of state, in addition to the existing requirement that the petition itself be submitted; requires the prevailing party in the contested case hearing to provide the filing office with a copy of the administrative law judge's determination. - Amends TCA Title 47.

SB 544 amends Tennessee's Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) to streamline the process for resolving disputes over financing statement filings. It requires filing offices (like county clerks) to send contested UCC filings, the public official's notarized affidavit, and the petition to the Secretary of State's office within three business days - adding to existing requirements. The bill also mandates that the prevailing party in such disputes provide the filing office with a copy of the administrative law judge's decision. This affects secured parties (e.g., lenders), public officials who file affidavits, and filing offices handling UCC disputes. The changes focus solely on procedural steps for administrative review, not on altering credit or legal rights.
