Status: in_force

July 1, 2001 Senate Bill 74 - 124th General Assembly (A) A security interest under this chapter may be created in goods that are fixtures or may continue in goods that become fixtures. A security interest does not exist under this chapter in ordinary building materials incorporated into an improvement on land. (B) This chapter does not prevent creation of an encumbrance upon fixtures pursuant to real property law. (C) In cases not governed by divisions (D) to (H) of this section, a security interest in fixtures is subordinate to a conflicting interest of an encumbrancer or owner of the related real property other than the debtor. (D) Except as otherwise provided in division (H) of this section, a perfected security interest in fixtures has priority over a conflicting interest of an encumbrancer or owner of the real property if the debtor has an interest of record in or is in possession of the real property and: (1) The security interest is a purchase money security interest; (2) The interest of the encumbrancer or owner arises before the goods become fixtures; and (3) The security interest is perfected by a fixture filing before the goods become fixtures or within twenty days thereafter. (E) A perfected security interest in fixtures has priority over a conflicting interest of an encumbrancer or owner of the real property if: (1) The debtor has an interest of record in the real property or is in possession of the real property, and the security interest: (a) Is perfected by a fixture filing before the interest of the encumbrancer or owner is of record; and (b) Has priority over any conflicting interest of a predecessor in title of the encumbrancer or owner; (2) Before the goods became fixtures, the security interest is perfected by any method permitted by this chapter, and the fixtures are readily removable: (a) Factory or office machines; (b) Equipment that is not primarily used or leased for use in the operation of the real property; or (c) Replacements of domestic appliances that are consumer goods; (3) The conflicting interest is a lien on the real property obtained by legal or equitable proceedings after the security interest was perfected by any method permitted by this chapter; or (4) The security interest is: (a) Created in a manufactured home in a manufactured home transaction; and (b) Perfected pursuant to a section listed in division (A)(2) of section 1309.311 of the Revised Code. (F) A security interest in fixtures, whether or not perfected, has priority over the conflicting interest of an encumbrancer or owner of the real property if: (1) The encumbrancer or owner has, in an authenticated record, consented to the security interest or disclaimed an interest in the goods as fixtures; or (2) The debtor has a right to remove the goods as against the encumbrancer or owner. (G) The priority of the security interest under division (F)(2) of this section continues for a reasonable time if the debtor's right to remove the goods as against the encumbrancer or owner terminates. (H) A mortgage is a construction mortgage to the extent that it secures an obligation incurred for the construction of an improvement on land, including the acquisition cost of the land, if a recorded record of the mortgage so indicates. Except as otherwise provided in divisions (E) and (F) of this section, a security interest in fixtures is subordinate to a construction mortgage if a record of the mortgage is recorded before the goods become fixtures and the goods become fixtures before the completion of the construction. A mortgage has this priority to the same extent as a construction mortgage to the extent that it is given to refinance a construction mortgage. (I) A perfected security interest in crops growing on real property has priority over a conflicting interest of an encumbrancer or owner of the real property if the debtor has an interest of record in or is in possession of the real property. (J) Division (I) of this section prevails over any inconsistent statutes not specifically enumerated under division (D)(2) of section 1309.109 of the Revised Code and applicable by their terms.

Upon the effective date of a video service authorization obtained by the person under division (B)(2) of this section, the franchise or competitive video service agreement terminates, and no provision of that franchise or agreement is enforceable. (C) Video service constitutes cable service over a cable system for the purposes of sections 1332.01 to 1332.10 of the Revised Code. For purposes of division (B)(4) of section 4939.05 and divisions (A)(3) and (D)(2) of section 4939.09 of the Revised Code, a municipal corporation that receives a video service provider fee described in section 1332.32 of the Revised Code constitutes a municipal corporation that charges a franchise fee, and a video service authorization described in section 1332.24 of the Revised Code constitutes a franchise between a cable operator and a municipal corporation.

§ 1310.31. Alienability of party's interest under lease contract or of lessor's residual interest in goods - delegation of performance - transfer of rights - UCC 2A-303
Status: in_force

July 1, 2001 Senate Bill 74 - 124th General Assembly (A) As used in this section, "creation of a security interest" includes the sale of a lease contract that is subject to Chapter 1309. of the Revised Code, by reason of division (A)(3) of section 1309.109 of the Revised Code. (B) Except as provided in division (C) of this section and section 1309.407 of the Revised Code, a provision in a lease agreement that prohibits the voluntary or involuntary transfer, including a transfer by sale, sublease, creation or enforcement of a security interest, or attachment, levy, or other judicial process, of an interest of a party under the lease contract or of the lessor's residual interest in the goods or that makes such a transfer an event of default gives rise to the rights and remedies provided in division (D) of this section, but a transfer that is prohibited or is an event of default under the lease agreement otherwise is effective. (C) A provision in a lease agreement that prohibits a transfer of a right to damages for default with respect to the whole lease contract or of a right to payment arising out of the transferor's due performance of the transferor's entire obligation or that makes such a transfer an event of default is not enforceable, and such a transfer is not a transfer that materially impairs the prospect of obtaining return performance by, materially changes the duty of, or materially increases the burden or risk imposed on, the other party to the lease contract under division (D) of this section. (D) Subject to division (C) of this section and section 1309.407 of the Revised Code, both of the following apply: (1) If a transfer is made that is made an event of default under a lease agreement, the party to the lease contract not making the transfer, unless that party waives the default or otherwise agrees, has the rights and remedies described in division (B) of section 1310.47 of the Revised Code. (2) If division (D)(1) of this section is not applicable and if a transfer is made that is prohibited under a lease agreement or that materially impairs the prospect of obtaining return performance by, materially changes the duty of, or materially increases the burden or risk imposed on, the other party to the lease contract, unless the party not making the transfer agrees at any time to the transfer in the lease contract or otherwise, then, except as limited by contract, the transferor is liable to the party not making the transfer for damages caused by the transfer to the extent that the damages could not reasonably be prevented by the party not making the transfer, and a court having jurisdiction may grant other appropriate relief, including cancellation of the lease contract or an injunction against the transfer. (E) A transfer of "the lease" or of "all my rights under the lease" or a transfer in similar general terms is a transfer of rights and, unless the language or the circumstances, as in a transfer for security, indicate the contrary, the transfer is a delegation of duties by the transferor to the transferee. Acceptance by the transferee constitutes a promise by the transferee to perform those duties. The promise is enforceable by either the transferor or the other party to the lease contract. (F) Unless otherwise agreed by the lessor and the lessee, a delegation of performance does not relieve the transferor as against the other party of any duty to perform or of any liability for default. (G) In a consumer lease, to prohibit the transfer of an interest of a party under the lease contract or to make a transfer an event of default, the language prohibiting the transfer or making the transfer a default shall be specific, by a writing, and conspicuous.

June 30, 2011 House Bill 153 - 129th General Assembly (A)(1) In accordance with section 1332.25 of the Revised Code, the director of commerce may issue to any person, or renew, a video service authorization, which authorization confers on the person the authority, subject to sections 1332.21 to 1332.34 of the Revised Code, to provide video service in its video service area; construct and operate a video service network in, along, across, or on public rights-of-way for the provision of video service; and, when necessary to provide that service, exercise the power of a telephone company under section 4931.04 of the Revised Code. The term of a video service authorization or authorization renewal shall be ten years. (2) For the purposes of the "Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984," Pub. L. No. 98-549, 98 Stat. 2779, 47 U.S.C. 521 et seq., a video service authorization shall constitute a franchise under that law, and the director shall be the sole franchising authority under that law for video service authorizations in this state. (3) The director may impose upon and collect an annual assessment on video service providers. All money collected under division (A)(3) of this section shall be deposited in the state treasury to the credit of the video service authorization fund created under section 1332.25 of the Revised Code. The total amount assessed in a fiscal year shall not exceed the lesser of four hundred fifty thousand dollars or, as shall be determined annually by the director, the department's actual, current fiscal year administrative costs in carrying out its duties under sections 1332.21 to 1332.34 of the Revised Code. The director shall allocate that total amount proportionately among the video service providers to be assessed, using a formula based on subscriber counts as of the thirty-first day of December of the preceding calendar year, which counts shall be submitted to the director not later than the thirty-first day of January of each year, via a notarized statement signed by an authorized officer. Any information submitted by a video service provider to the director for the purpose of determining subscriber counts shall be considered trade secret information, shall not be disclosed except by court order, and shall not constitute a public record under section 149.43 of the Revised Code. On or about the first day of June of each year, the director shall send to each video service provider to be assessed written notice of its proportional amount of the total assessment. The provider shall pay that amount on a quarterly basis not later than forty-five days after the end of each calendar quarter. After the initial assessment, the director annually shall reconcile the amount collected with the total, current amount assessed pursuant to this section, and either shall charge each assessed video service provider its respective proportion of any insufficiency or proportionately credit the provider's next assessment for any excess collected. (B)(1) The director may investigate alleged violations of or failures to comply with division (A) of section 1332.23 , division (A) of this section, division (C) of section 1332.25 , division (C) or (D) of section 1332.26 , division (A), (B), or (C) of section 1332.27 , division (A) of section 1332.28 , division (A) or (B) of section 1332.29 , or section 1332.30 or 1332.31 of the Revised Code, or complaints concerning any such violation or failure. Except as provided in this section, the director has no authority to regulate video service in this state, including, but not limited to, the rates, terms, or conditions of that service. (2) In conducting an investigation under division (B)(1) of this section, the director, by subpoena, may compel witnesses to testify in relation to any matter over which the director has jurisdiction and may require the production of any book, record, or other document pertaining to that matter. If a person fails to file any statement or report, obey any subpoena, give testimony, produce any book, record, or other document as required by a subpoena, or permit photocopying of any book, record, or other document subpoenaed, the court of common pleas of any county in this state, upon application made to it by the director, shall compel obedience by attachment proceedings for contempt, as in the case of disobedience of the requirements of a subpoena issued from the court or a refusal to testify. (C)(1) If the director finds that a person has violated or failed to comply with division (A) of section 1332.23 , division (A) of this section, division (C) of section 1332.25 , division (C) or (D) of section 1332.26 , division (A), (B), or (C) of section 1332.27 , division (A) of section 1332.28 , division (A) or (B) of section 1332.29 , or section 1332.30 or 1332.31 of the Revised Code, and the person has failed to cure the violation or failure after reasonable, written notice and reasonable time to cure, the director may do any of the following: (a) Apply to the court of common pleas of any county in this state for an order enjoining the activity or requiring compliance. Such an action shall be commenced not later than three years after the date the alleged violation or failure occurred or was reasonably discovered. Upon a showing by the director that the person has engaged in a violation or failure to comply, the court shall grant an injunction, restraining order, or other appropriate relief. (b) Enter into a written assurance of voluntary compliance with the person; (c) Pursuant to an adjudication under Chapter 119. of the Revised Code, assess a civil penalty in an amount determined by the director, including for any failure to comply with an assurance of voluntary compliance under division (C)(1)(b) of this section. The amount shall be not more than one thousand dollars for each day of violation or noncompliance, not to exceed a total of ten thousand dollars, counting all subscriber impacts as a single violation or act of noncompliance. In determining whether a civil penalty is appropriate under division (C)(1)(c) of this section, the director shall consider all of the following factors: (i) The seriousness of the noncompliance; (ii) The good faith efforts of the person to comply; (iii) The person's history of noncompliance; (iv) The financial resources of the person; (v) Any other matter that justice requires. Civil penalties collected pursuant to division (C)(1)(c) of this section shall be deposited to the credit of the video service enforcement fund in the state treasury, which is hereby created, to be used by the department of commerce in carrying out its duties under this section. (2) Pursuant to an adjudication under Chapter 119. of the Revised Code, the director may revoke, in whole or in part, the video service authorization of any person that has repeatedly and knowingly violated or failed to comply with division (A) of section 1332.23 , division (A) of this section, division (C) of section 1332.25 , division (C) or (D) of section 1332.26 , division (A), (B), or (C) of section 1332.27 , division (A) of section 1332.28 , division (A) or (B) of section 1332.29 , or section 1332.30 or 1332.31 of the Revised Code and that has failed to cure the violations or noncompliances after reasonable written notice and reasonable time to cure. Such person acts knowingly, regardless of the person's purpose, when the person is aware that the person's conduct will probably cause a certain result or will probably be of a certain nature. A person has knowledge of circumstances when the person is aware that such circumstances probably exist. (3) The court shall conduct a de novo review in any appeal from an adjudication under division (C)(1)(c) or (C)(2) of this section. (D) The public utilities commission has no authority over a video service provider in its offering of video service or a cable operator in its offering of cable or video service, or over any person in its offering of video service pursuant to a competitive video service agreement.

(3) If such seller certifies to the online marketplace that the seller does not have a telephone number other than a personal telephone number, the online marketplace shall inform consumers that there is no telephone number available for the seller and that consumer inquiries should be submitted to the seller's electronic mail address or other means of electronic messaging provided to such seller by the online marketplace. (B) If an online marketplace becomes aware that a high-volume third party seller has made a false representation to the online marketplace in order to justify the provision of a partial disclosure under division (A) of this section or that a high-volume third party seller who has requested and received a provision for a partial disclosure under division (A) of this section has not provided responsive answers within a reasonable time frame to consumer inquiries submitted to the seller by telephone, electronic mail, or other means of electronic messaging provided to such seller by the online marketplace, the online marketplace shall, after providing the seller with written or electronic notice and an opportunity to respond not later than ten days after the issuance of such notice, suspend any future sales activity of such seller unless such seller consents to the disclosure of the identity information required under division (B)(1) of section 1349.70 of the Revised Code. (C) If a high-volume third-party seller is a program participant as defined in section 111.41 of the Revised Code, the only address of which the online marketplace may require disclosure is the address designated by the secretary of state under section 111.42 of the Revised Code.
