§ 47-7-103. Relation of chapter to treaty or statute.

This chapter is subject to any treaty or statute of the United States or regulatory statute of this state to the extent the treaty, statute, or regulatory statute is applicable. This chapter does not modify or repeal any law prescribing the form or content of a document of title or the services or facilities to be afforded by a bailee, or otherwise regulating a bailee's business in respects not specifically treated in this chapter. However, violation of such a law does not affect the status of a document of title that otherwise is within the definition of a document of title. This chapter modifies, limits, and supersedes the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, compiled in 15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq., but does not modify, limit, or supersede § 101(c) of that act, codified in 15 U.S.C. § 7001(c), or authorize electronic delivery of any of the notices described in § 103(b) of that act, codified in 15 U.S.C. § 7003(b). To the extent there is a conflict between this chapter and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), compiled chapter 10, part 1 of this title, this chapter governs. Acts 2008, ch. 814, § 1.
