(a) Conditions to acceptance in satisfaction. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (g), a secured party may accept collateral in full or partial satisfaction of the obligation it secures only if:
- (1) The debtor consents to the acceptance under subsection (c);
(2) the secured party does not receive, within the time set forth in subsection (d), a notification of objection to the proposal authenticated by:
- (A) A person to which the secured party was required to send a proposal under K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 84-9-621, and amendments thereto; or
- (B) any other person, other than the debtor, holding an interest in the collateral subordinate to the security interest that is the subject of the proposal;
- (3) if the collateral is consumer goods, the collateral is not in the possession of the debtor when the debtor consents to the acceptance; and

(b) Purported acceptance ineffective. A purported or apparent acceptance of collateral under this section is ineffective unless:
- (1) The secured party consents to the acceptance in an authenticated record or sends a proposal to the debtor; and
- (2) the conditions of subsection (a) are met.
(c) Debtor's consent. For purposes of this section:
- (1) A debtor consents to an acceptance of collateral in partial satisfaction of the obligation the collateral secures only if the debtor agrees to the terms of the acceptance in a record authenticated after default; and
(2) a debtor consents to an acceptance of collateral in full satisfaction of the obligation the collateral secures only if the debtor agrees to the terms of the acceptance in a record authenticated after default or the secured party:
- (A) Sends to the debtor after default a proposal that is unconditional or subject only to a condition that collateral not in the possession of the secured party be preserved or maintained;
- (B) in the proposal, proposes to accept collateral in full satisfaction of the obligation it secures; and
- (C) does not receive a notification of objection authenticated by the debtor within 20 days after the proposal is sent.
(d) Effectiveness of notification. To be effective under subsection (a)(2), a notification of objection must be received by the secured party:
- (1) In the case of a person to which the proposal was sent pursuant to K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 84-9-621, and amendments thereto, within 20 days after notification was sent to that person; and
(2) in other cases:
- (A) Within 20 days after the last notification was sent pursuant to K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 84-9-621, and amendments thereto; or
- (B) if a notification was not sent, before the debtor consents to the acceptance under subsection (c).
(e) Mandatory disposition of consumer goods. A secured party that has taken possession of collateral shall dispose of the collateral pursuant to K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 84-9-610, and amendments thereto, within the time specified in subsection (f) if:
- (1) Sixty percent of the cash price has been paid in the case of a purchase-money security interest in consumer goods; or

(f) Compliance with mandatory disposition requirement. To comply with subsection (e), the secured party shall dispose of the collateral:
- (1) Within 90 days after taking possession; or
- (2) within any longer period to which the debtor and all secondary obligors have agreed in an agreement to that effect entered into and authenticated after default.
