Section 9303 - Law governing perfection and priority of security interests in goods covered by certificate of title

     § 9303.  Law governing perfection and priority of security
                interests in goods covered by certificate of title.
        (a)  Applicability of section.--This section applies to goods
     covered by a certificate of title even if there is no other
     relationship between the jurisdiction under whose certificate of
     title the goods are covered and the goods or the debtor.
        (b)  When goods covered by certificate of title.--Goods
     become covered by a certificate of title when a valid
     application for the certificate of title and the applicable fee
     are delivered to the appropriate authority. Goods cease to be
     covered by a certificate of title at the earlier of the time the
     certificate of title ceases to be effective under the law of the
     issuing jurisdiction or the time the goods become covered
     subsequently by a certificate of title issued by another
     jurisdiction.
        (c)  Applicable law.--The local law of the jurisdiction under
     whose certificate of title the goods are covered governs
     perfection, the effect of perfection or nonperfection and the
     priority of a security interest in goods covered by a
     certificate of title from the time the goods become covered by
     the certificate of title until the goods cease to be covered by
     the certificate of title.
