Table of Correspondences between Ohio and Model UETA (1999 Final Act)


Ohio UETA Section Corresponding Model Act Section
None § 1 (Short title)
§ 1306.01 § 2 (Definitions)
§ 1306.02 § 3 (Scope, exceptions)
§ 1306.03 § 4 (Prospective application)

§ 1306.15 § 16 (Transferable records)
§ 1306.16 (Consumer protection) None
§ 1306.17 (Commercial reasonableness of security procedure) None
§ 1306.18 (Compliance with security procedure) None
§ 1306.19 (Exemption for consumer transactions) None
§ 1306.22 (Applications to legislature and courts) None
§ 1306.23 (Exemptions to disclosure) None
None § 17 (Governmental records)
None § 18 (Acceptance of governmental records)
None § 19 (Interoperability of governmental records)

Some significant differences:
Ohio's special consumer-protection and commercial reasonableness provisions (§§ 1306.16 - 1306.19) have no counterpart sin the Model Act.  Neither do Ohio's provisions relating to governmental records, §§ 1306.22 - 1306.23.  Finally, Ohio's provisions have some changes in wording from the model provisions, which are apparently intended to be clarifying but may have substantive effect.  Therefore, the relevant provisions of Ohio's UETA should be compared in detail with the corresponding provisions of the model Act before relying on the official Comments to the latter to interpret Ohio's law.
