<P> Although the substantive content is largely similar, some states have made structural modifications to conform to local customs . For example, Louisiana jurisprudence refers to the major subdivisions of the UCC as "chapters" instead of articles, since the term "articles" is used in that state to refer to provisions of the Louisiana Civil Code . Arkansas has a similar arrangement as the term "article" in that state's law generally refers to a subdivision of the Arkansas Constitution . In California, they are titled "divisions" instead of articles, because in California, articles are a third - or fourth - level subdivision of a code, while divisions or parts are always the first - level subdivision . Also, California does not allow the use of hyphens in section numbers because they are reserved for referring to ranges of sections; therefore, the hyphens used in the official UCC section numbers are dropped in the California implementation . </P> <P> The 1952 Uniform Commercial Code was released after ten years of development, and revisions were made to the Code from 1952 to 1999 . The Uniform Commercial Code deals with the following subjects under consecutively numbered Articles: </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> ART . </Th> <Td> TITLE </Td> <Td> CONTENTS </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Td> General Provisions </Td> <Td> Definitions, rules of interpretation </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Td> Sales </Td> <Td> Sales of goods </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 2A </Th> <Td> Leases </Td> <Td> Leases of goods </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Td> Negotiable Instruments </Td> <Td> Promissory notes and drafts (commercial paper) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Td> Bank Deposits and Collections </Td> <Td> Banks and banking, check collection process </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 4A </Th> <Td> Funds Transfers </Td> <Td> Transfers of money between banks </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 5 </Th> <Td> Letters of Credit </Td> <Td> Transactions involving letters of credit </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 6 </Th> <Td> Bulk Transfers and Bulk Sales </Td> <Td> Auctions and liquidations of assets </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 7 </Th> <Td> Warehouse Receipts, Bills of Lading and Other Documents of Title </Td> <Td> Storage and bailment of goods </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 8 </Th> <Td> Investment Securities </Td> <Td> Securities and financial assets </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 9 </Th> <Td> Secured Transactions </Td> <Td> Transactions secured by security interests </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> ART . </Th> <Td> TITLE </Td> <Td> CONTENTS </Td> </Tr>
