MS Code § 73-79-1 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 73 - Professions and Vocations|Chapter 79 - Hemodialysis Technicians|§ 73-79-1. Statewide hemodialysis technician registration with the State Board of Health; administration of hemodialysis under authority of licensed registered nurse

  The State Board of Health shall establish and maintain a statewide program for the registration of hemodialysis technicians.   The board is authorized and empowered to:   Register hemodialysis technicians who meet the qualifications prescribed by the board;   Maintain a permanent register of all registered hemodialysis technicians; and   Adopt rules and regulations relating to the registration and practice of hemodialysis technicians.     Any person desiring registration as a registered hemodialysis technician must submit to the State Department of Health:   An application as prescribed by the board; and   A registration fee to be fixed by the board, which shall be paid to the department.     A hemodialysis technician may administer hemodialysis under the authority of a registered nurse licensed under the Mississippi Nursing Practice Law, who may delegate tasks based on nursing judgment to a hemodialysis technician based on the technician's education, knowledge, training and skills. A hemodialysis technician who has completed or is currently in a training program recognized by the board may perform as a hemodialysis technician under the authority of a registered nurse before obtaining national certification; however, the national certification must be obtained within eighteen (18) months of the hiring of the hemodialysis technician, and evidence of the national certification must be provided to the department.   The board shall establish fees necessary for the administration of this section.

2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 5 - Uniform Commercial Code-Revised Article 5. Letters of Credit|§ 75-5-101. Short title

 This chapter may be cited as Uniform Commercial Code-Revised Article 5. Letters of Credit.
MS Code § 75-5-103 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 5 - Uniform Commercial Code-Revised Article 5. Letters of Credit|§ 75-5-103. Scope

 This chapter applies to letters of credit and to certain rights and obligations arising out of transactions involving letters of credit.   The statement of a rule in this chapter does not by itself require, imply, or negate application of the same or a different rule to a situation not provided for, or to a person not specified, in this chapter.   With the exception of this subsection, subsections (a) and (d), Sections 75-5-102(a)(9) and (10), 75-5-106(d), and 75-5-114(d), and except to the extent prohibited in Sections 75-1-302 and 75-5-117(d), the effect of this chapter may be varied by agreement or by a provision stated or incorporated by reference in an undertaking. A term in an agreement or undertaking generally excusing liability or generally limiting remedies for failure to perform obligations is not sufficient to vary obligations prescribed by this chapter.   Rights and obligations of an issuer to a beneficiary or a nominated person under a letter of credit are independent of the existence, performance or nonperformance of a contract or arrangement out of which the letter of credit arises or which underlies it, including contracts or arrangements between the issuer and the applicant and between the applicant and the beneficiary.
MS Code § 75-5-104 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 5 - Uniform Commercial Code-Revised Article 5. Letters of Credit|§ 75-5-104. Formal requirements

 A letter of credit, confirmation, advice, transfer, amendment or cancellation may be issued in any form that is a record and is authenticated (i) by a signature, or (ii) in accordance with the agreement of the parties or the standard practice referred to in Section 75-5-108(e).
MS Code § 75-5-105 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 5 - Uniform Commercial Code-Revised Article 5. Letters of Credit|§ 75-5-105. Consideration

 Consideration is not required to issue, amend, transfer or cancel a letter of credit, advice or confirmation.
MS Code § 75-5-106 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 5 - Uniform Commercial Code-Revised Article 5. Letters of Credit|§ 75-5-106. Issuance, amendment, cancellation and duration

 A letter of credit is issued and becomes enforceable according to its terms against the issuer when the issuer sends or otherwise transmits it to the person requested to advise or to the beneficiary. A letter of credit is revocable only if it so provides.   After a letter of credit is issued, rights and obligations of a beneficiary, applicant, confirmer and issuer are not affected by an amendment or cancellation to which that person has not consented except to the extent the letter of credit provides that it is revocable or that the issuer may amend or cancel the letter of credit without that consent.   If there is no stated expiration date or other provision that determines its duration, a letter of credit expires one (1) year after its stated date of issuance or, if none is stated, after the date on which it is issued.   A letter of credit that states that it is perpetual expires five (5) years after its stated date of issuance, or if none is stated, after the date on which it is issued.
MS Code § 75-5-107 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 5 - Uniform Commercial Code-Revised Article 5. Letters of Credit|§ 75-5-107. Confirmer, nominated person and adviser

 A confirmer is directly obligated on a letter of credit and has the rights and obligations of an issuer to the extent of its confirmation. The confirmer also has rights against and obligations to the issuer as if the issuer were an applicant and the confirmer had issued the letter of credit at the request and for the account of the issuer.   A nominated person who is not a confirmer is not obligated to honor or otherwise give value for a presentation.   A person requested to advise may decline to act as an adviser. An adviser who is not a confirmer is not obligated to honor or give value for a presentation. An adviser undertakes to the issuer and to the beneficiary accurately to advise the terms of the letter of credit, confirmation, amendment or advice received by that person and undertakes to the beneficiary to check the apparent authenticity of the request to advise. Even if the advice is inaccurate, the letter of credit, confirmation or amendment is enforceable as issued.   A person who notifies a transferee beneficiary of the terms of a letter of credit, confirmation, amendment or advice has the rights and obligations of an adviser under subsection (c). The terms in the notice to the transferee beneficiary may differ from the terms in any notice to the transferor beneficiary to the extent permitted by the letter of credit, confirmation, amendment or advice received by the person who so notifies.
MS Code § 75-5-109 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 5 - Uniform Commercial Code-Revised Article 5. Letters of Credit|§ 75-5-109. Fraud and forgery

 If a presentation is made that appears on its face strictly to comply with the terms and conditions of the letter of credit, but a required document is forged or materially fraudulent, or honor of the presentation would facilitate a material fraud by the beneficiary on the issuer or applicant:    The issuer shall honor the presentation, if honor is demanded by (i) a nominated person who has given value in good faith and without notice of forgery or material fraud, (ii) a confirmer who has honored its confirmation in good faith, (iii) a holder in due course of a draft drawn under the letter of credit which was taken after acceptance by the issuer or nominated person, or (iv) an assignee of the issuer's or nominated person's deferred obligation that was taken for value and without notice of forgery or material fraud after the obligation was incurred by the issuer or nominated person; and   The issuer, acting in good faith, may honor or dishonor the presentation in any other case.   All of the conditions to entitle a person to the relief under the law of this state have been met; and   On the basis of the information submitted to the court, the applicant is more likely than not to succeed under its claim of forgery or material fraud and the person demanding honor does not qualify for protection under subsection (a)(1).    If an applicant claims that a required document is forged or materially fraudulent or that honor of the presentation would facilitate a material fraud by the beneficiary on the issuer or applicant, a court of competent jurisdiction may temporarily or permanently enjoin the issuer from honoring a presentation or grant similar relief against the issuer or other persons only if the court finds that:   The relief is not prohibited under the law applicable to an accepted draft or deferred obligation incurred by the issuer;   A beneficiary, issuer or nominated person who may be adversely affected is adequately protected against loss that it may suffer because the relief is granted;

2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 5 - Uniform Commercial Code-Revised Article 5. Letters of Credit|§ 75-5-110. Warranties

 If its presentation is honored, the beneficiary warrants:    To the issuer, any other person to whom presentation is made, and the applicant that there is no fraud or forgery of the kind described in Section 75-5-109(a); and   To the applicant that the drawing does not violate any agreement between the applicant and beneficiary or any other agreement intended by them to be augmented by the letter of credit.    The warranties in subsection (a) are in addition to warranties arising under Chapters 3, 4, 7 and 8 because of the presentation or transfer of documents covered by any of those articles.
MS Code § 75-5-111 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 5 - Uniform Commercial Code-Revised Article 5. Letters of Credit|§ 75-5-111. Remedies

 If an issuer wrongfully dishonors or repudiates its obligation to pay money under a letter of credit before presentation, the beneficiary, successor or nominated person presenting on its own behalf may recover from the issuer the amount that is the subject of the dishonor or repudiation. If the issuer's obligation under the letter of credit is not for the payment of money, the claimant may obtain specific performance or, at the claimant's election, recover an amount equal to the value of performance from the issuer. In either case, the claimant may also recover incidental but not consequential damages. The claimant is not obligated to take action to avoid damages that might be due from the issuer under this subsection. If, although not obligated to do so, the claimant avoids damages, the claimant's recovery from the issuer must be reduced by the amount of damages avoided. The issuer has the burden of proving the amount of damages avoided. In the case of repudiation the claimant need not present any document.   If an issuer wrongfully dishonors a draft or demand presented under a letter of credit or honors a draft or demand in breach of its obligation to the applicant, the applicant may recover damages resulting from the breach, including incidental but not consequential damages, less any amount saved as a result of the breach.   If an adviser or nominated person other than a confirmer breaches an obligation under this chapter or an issuer breaches an obligation not covered in subsection (a) or (b), a person to whom the obligation is owed may recover damages resulting from the breach, including incidental but not consequential damages, less any amount saved as a result of the breach. To the extent of the confirmation, a confirmer has the liability of an issuer specified in this subsection and subsections (a) and (b).   An issuer, nominated person, or adviser who is found liable under subsection (a), (b) or (c) shall pay interest on the amount owed thereunder from the date of wrongful dishonor or other appropriate date.   Reasonable attorney's fees and other expenses of litigation must be awarded to the prevailing party in an action in which a remedy is sought under this chapter.   Damages that would otherwise be payable by a party for breach of an obligation under this article may be liquidated by agreement or undertaking, but only in an amount or by a formula that is reasonable in light of the harm anticipated.
MS Code § 75-5-112 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 5 - Uniform Commercial Code-Revised Article 5. Letters of Credit|§ 75-5-112. Transfer of letter of credit

 Except as otherwise provided in Section 75-5-113, unless a letter of credit provides that it is transferable, the right of a beneficiary to draw or otherwise demand performance under a letter of credit may not be transferred.   Even if a letter of credit provides that it is transferable, the issuer may refuse to recognize or carry out a transfer if:    The transfer would violate applicable law; or   The transferor or transferee has failed to comply with any requirement stated in the letter of credit or any other requirement relating to transfer imposed by the issuer which is within the standard practice referred to in Section 75-5-108(e) or is otherwise reasonable under the circumstances.
MS Code § 75-5-113 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 5 - Uniform Commercial Code-Revised Article 5. Letters of Credit|§ 75-5-113. Transfer by operation of law

 A successor of a beneficiary may consent to amendments, sign and present documents, and receive payment or other items of value in the name of the beneficiary without disclosing its status as a successor.   A successor of a beneficiary may consent to amendments, sign and present documents, and receive payment or other items of value in its own name as the disclosed successor of the beneficiary. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (e), an issuer shall recognize a disclosed successor of a beneficiary as beneficiary in full substitution for its predecessor upon compliance with the requirements for recognition by the issuer of a transfer of drawing rights by operation of law under the standard practice referred to in Section 75-5-108(e) or, in the absence of such a practice, compliance with other reasonable procedures sufficient to protect the issuer.   An issuer is not obliged to determine whether a purported successor is a successor of a beneficiary or whether the signature of a purported successor is genuine or authorized.   Honor of a purported successor's apparently complying presentation under subsection (a) or (b) has the consequences specified in Section 75-5-108(i) even if the purported successor is not the successor of a beneficiary. Documents signed in the name of the beneficiary or of a disclosed successor by a person who is neither the beneficiary nor the successor of the beneficiary are forged documents for the purposes of Section 75-5-109.   An issuer whose rights of reimbursement are not covered by subsection (d) or substantially similar law and any confirmer or nominated person may decline to recognize a presentation under subsection (b).   A beneficiary whose name is changed after the issuance of a letter of credit has the same rights and obligations as a successor of a beneficiary under this section.
MS Code § 75-5-114 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 5 - Uniform Commercial Code-Revised Article 5. Letters of Credit|§ 75-5-114. Assignment of proceeds

 In this section, "proceeds of a letter of credit" means the cash, check, accepted draft, or other item of value paid or delivered upon honor or giving of value by the issuer or any nominated person under the letter of credit. The term does not include a beneficiary's drawing rights or documents presented by the beneficiary.   A beneficiary may assign its right to part or all of the proceeds of a letter of credit. The beneficiary may do so before presentation as a present assignment of its right to receive proceeds contingent upon its compliance with the terms and conditions of the letter of credit.   An issuer or nominated person need not recognize an assignment of proceeds of a letter of credit until it consents to the assignment.   An issuer or nominated person has no obligation to give or withhold its consent to an assignment of proceeds of a letter of credit, but consent may not be unreasonably withheld if the assignee possesses and exhibits the letter of credit and presentation of the letter of credit is a condition to honor.   Rights of a transferee beneficiary or nominated person are independent of the beneficiary's assignment of the proceeds of a letter of credit and are superior to the assignee's right to the proceeds.   Neither the rights recognized by this section between an assignee and an issuer, transferee beneficiary, or nominated person nor the issuer's or nominated person's payment of proceeds to an assignee or a third person affect the rights between the assignee and any person other than the issuer, transferee beneficiary, or nominated person. The mode of creating and perfecting a security interest in or granting an assignment of a beneficiary's rights to proceeds is governed by Chapter 9 or other law. Against persons other than the issuer, transferee beneficiary, or nominated person, the rights and obligations arising upon the creation of a security interest or other assignment of a beneficiary's right to proceeds and its perfection are governed by Chapter 9 or other law.
MS Code § 75-5-115 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 5 - Uniform Commercial Code-Revised Article 5. Letters of Credit|§ 75-5-115. Statute of limitations

 An action to enforce a right or obligation arising under this chapter must be commenced within one (1) year after the expiration date of the relevant letter of credit or one (1) year after the cause of action accrues, whichever occurs later. A cause of action accrues when the breach occurs, regardless of the aggrieved party's lack of knowledge of the breach.
MS Code § 75-5-116 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 5 - Uniform Commercial Code-Revised Article 5. Letters of Credit|§ 75-5-116. Choice of law and forum

 The liability of an issuer, nominated person or adviser for action or omission is governed by the law of the jurisdiction chosen by an agreement in the form of a record signed or otherwise authenticated by the affected parties in the manner provided in Section 75-5-104 or by a provision in the person's letter of credit, confirmation or other undertaking. The jurisdiction whose law is chosen need not bear any relation to the transaction.   Unless subsection (a) applies, the liability of an issuer, nominated person or adviser for action or omission is governed by the law of the jurisdiction in which the person is located. The person is considered to be located at the address indicated in the person's undertaking. If more than one address is indicated, the person is considered to be located at the address from which the person's undertaking was issued. For the purpose of jurisdiction, choice of law and recognition of interbranch letters of credit, but not enforcement of a judgment, all branches of a bank are considered separate juridical entities and a bank is considered to be located at the place where its relevant branch is considered to be located under this subsection.   Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the liability of an issuer, nominated person or adviser is governed by any rules of custom or practice, such as the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, to which the letter of credit, confirmation or other undertaking is expressly made subject. If (i) this chapter would govern the liability of an issuer, nominated person or adviser under subsection (a) or (b), (ii) the relevant undertaking incorporates rules of custom or practice, and (iii) there is conflict between this chapter and those rules as applied to that undertaking, those rules govern except to the extent of any conflict with the nonvariable provisions specified in Section 75-5-103(c).   If there is conflict between this chapter and Chapters 3, 4, 4A or 9, this chapter governs.   The forum for settling disputes arising out of an undertaking within this chapter may be chosen in the manner and with the binding effect that governing law may be chosen in accordance with subsection (a).
MS Code § 75-5-117 (2020)
2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 5 - Uniform Commercial Code-Revised Article 5. Letters of Credit|§ 75-5-117. Subrogation of issuer, applicant and nominated person

 An issuer that honors a beneficiary's presentation is subrogated to the rights of the beneficiary to the same extent as if the issuer were a secondary obligor of the underlying obligation owed to the beneficiary and of the applicant to the same extent as if the issuer were the secondary obligor of the underlying obligation owed to the applicant.   An applicant that reimburses an issuer is subrogated to the rights of the issuer against any beneficiary, presenter or nominated person to the same extent as if the applicant were the secondary obligor of the obligations owed to the issuer and has the rights of subrogation of the issuer to the rights of the beneficiary stated in subsection (a).   A nominated person who pays or gives value against a draft or demand presented under a letter of credit is subrogated to the rights of:    The issuer against the applicant to the same extent as if the nominated person were a secondary obligor of the obligation owed to the issuer by the applicant;   The beneficiary to the same extent as if the nominated person were a secondary obligor of the underlying obligation owed to the beneficiary; and   The applicant to the same extent as if the nominated person were a secondary obligor of the underlying obligation owed to the applicant.    Notwithstanding any agreement or term to the contrary, the rights of subrogation stated in subsections (a) and (b) do not arise until the issuer honors the letter of credit or otherwise pays and the rights in subsection (c) do not arise until the nominated person pays or otherwise gives value. Until then, the issuer, nominated person and the applicant do not derive under this section present or prospective rights forming the basis of a claim, defense or excuse.
