§ 1482

An obligation shall not be deemed secured by personal property or collateral unless the personal property or collateral held as security is of a kind which has not been declared ineligible by the commissioner and unless it has a market value at least 15 percent greater than the amount of the obligations secured thereby or, if the security is a bank deposit, it shall have a face value at least equal to the amount of the obligations secured thereby. The commissioner may by general regulation declare any particular kinds or classes of personal property ineligible as security. An obligation shall not be deemed secured by real property unless the obligation and the lien securing the same conform to the provisions of Section 1486, 1489, 1494, 1495, or 1496 or the first sentence of Section 1493. Secured and unsecured loans shall be represented by separate notes and shall not be combined in any way within one note or notes.
