§1257. Choice of law; conflicts
A. The law governing the validity, enforceability, attachment, perfection, priority, exercise of remedies, and venue with respect to the sale, assignment, or transfer of an interest or right or the creation of a security interest in any investment recovery property shall be exclusively the laws of this state, without applying this state's laws of conflicts of laws and notwithstanding any contrary contractual provision, except as provided in the last sentence of R.S. 45:1256(F). The validity, enforceability, attachment, perfection, priority, and exercise of remedies with respect to the sale, assignment, or transfer of an interest or right or the creation of a security interest in any investment recovery property shall be governed by this Part, and solely to the extent not addressed by this Part, by the Uniform Commercial Code--Secured Transactions and other laws of this state. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, this Part provides that the Uniform Commercial Code--Secured Transactions applies to the filings of financing statements referenced in this Part, to perfection, the effect of perfection or nonperfection, and the priority of security interests held by a secured party having control of deposit accounts or securities accounts as original collateral securing investment recovery bonds, notwithstanding that proceeds of investment recovery charges are deposited therein, and to the enforcement of security interests in investment recovery property, in each case subject to Subsection B of this Section.
B. In the event of conflict between this Part and any other law regarding the attachment, creation, perfection, the effect of perfection, or priority of, a sale, assignment, or transfer of, or security interest in, investment recovery property, or the exercise of remedies with respect thereto, this Part shall govern to the extent of the conflict.
C. This Section shall not be interpreted to conflict with or modify R.S. 45:1256(B).
