Section 9--705. Effectiveness of Action Taken Before Effective Date  


Latest version.
  • (a) Pre-effective-date   action;  one-year  perfection  period  unless
      reperfected. If action, other than the filing of a financing  statement,
      is taken before Revised Article 9 takes effect and the action would have
      resulted  in priority of a security interest over the rights of a person
      that  becomes  a  lien  creditor  had  the  security   interest   become
      enforceable  before  Revised  Article  9  takes  effect,  the  action is
      effective to perfect a security interest  that  attaches  under  Revised
      Article  9  within  one  year  after  Revised Article 9 takes effect. An
      attached security interest becomes unperfected one  year  after  Revised
      Article  9 takes effect unless the security interest becomes a perfected
      security interest under Revised Article 9 before the expiration of  that
      period.
        (b) Pre-effective-date  filing.  The  filing  of a financing statement
      before Revised Article 9 takes effect is effective to perfect a security
      interest  to  the  extent  the  filing  would  satisfy  the   applicable
      requirements for perfection under Revised Article 9.
        (c) Pre-effective-date   filing  in  jurisdiction  formerly  governing
      perfection. Revised Article 9 does not render ineffective  an  effective
      financing  statement  that,  before  Revised  Article 9 takes effect, is
      filed and satisfies the applicable requirements for perfection under the
      law of the jurisdiction  governing  perfection  as  provided  in  Former
      Section 9--103. However, except as otherwise provided in subsections (d)
      and  (e)  and  Section  9--706,  the  financing  statement  ceases to be
      effective at the earlier of:
             (1) the time the financing statement  would  have  ceased  to  be
                 effective  under  the  law of the jurisdiction in which it is
                 filed; or
             (2) June thirtieth, 2006.
        (d) Continuation statement. The filing  of  a  continuation  statement
      after Revised Article 9 takes effect does not continue the effectiveness
      of  the financing statement filed before Revised Article 9 takes effect.
      However, upon the  timely  filing  of  a  continuation  statement  after
      Revised  Article  9  takes  effect and in accordance with the law of the
      jurisdiction  governing  perfection  as  provided   in   Part   3,   the
      effectiveness  of a financing statement filed in the same office in that
      jurisdiction before Revised Article 9 takes  effect  continues  for  the
      period provided by the law of that jurisdiction.
        (e) Application   of   subsection  (c)  (2)  to  transmitting  utility
      financing statement. Subsection (c) (2) applies to a financing statement
      that, before  Revised  Article  9  takes  effect,  is  filed  against  a
      transmitting  utility  and  satisfies  the  applicable  requirements for
      perfection under the law of the  jurisdiction  governing  perfection  as
      provided  in  Former  Section  9--103  only  to  the  extent that Part 3
      provides that the law of a jurisdiction other than the  jurisdiction  in
      which  the financing statement is filed governs perfection of a security
      interest in collateral covered by the financing statement.
        (f) Application of Part 5.  A  financing  statement  that  includes  a
      financing  statement  filed  before Revised Article 9 takes effect and a
      continuation statement filed after Revised Article  9  takes  effect  is
      effective  only to the extent that it satisfies the requirements of Part
      5 for an initial financing statement.
