Senate Bill 846

Senate Author:  Janek

House Sponsor:  Chavez


            Senate Bill 846 amends the Occupations Code to include sound recordings in the Artists' Consignment Act.  The bill specifies that, notwithstanding any provision of the Business & Commerce Code, a consigned sound recording delivered by the artist who produced it to a recording distributor for sale, and the proceeds from the sale, are not subject to a claim, lien, or security interest of a creditor of the recording distributor.  The exemption does not apply if the artist delivered the recording pursuant to a sale for which the artist has been paid in full.  The bill amends the Business & Commerce Code to exclude sound recordings delivered to a distributor from the application of security interests under the Universal Commercial Code if the Artists' Consignment Act applies to the delivery.
