Summary

The act changes Alaska law to treat any sale or assignment of personal property where the seller keeps possession as a presumptive fraud against the seller’s creditors, unless the retention is a normal trade practice. It also sets procedures for objecting to a tender, declares corporate bonds to be negotiable instruments, allows bond pledges to be perfected without filing, extends the fraud presumption to transfers meant to dodge child‑support, and makes falsifying vehicle titles a felony. The changes impact merchants, lenders, creditors, and anyone handling secured transactions.
