HRS §490:9-401
When a debtor can transfer rights to collateral
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗This section says that whether a debtor can transfer their rights in collateral is usually decided by other laws, not this one. However, if a debtor and secured party agree to forbid the transfer, that agreement does not stop the transfer from being valid.
