Official statutory text

(1) A financing statement or continuation statement filed prior to January 1, 1984, which shall not have lapsed prior to January 1, 1984, shall remain effective for the period provided in the Prior Uniform Commercial Code, but not less than 5 years after the filing.

(2) With respect to any collateral acquired by the debtor subsequent to this Act becoming effective, any effective financing statement or continuation statement described in this section shall apply only if the filing or filings are in the office or offices that would be appropriate to perfect the security interests in the new collateral under the Revised Uniform Commercial Code.

(3) The effectiveness of any financing statement or continuation statement filed prior to January 1, 1984, may be continued by a continuation statement as permitted by the Revised Uniform Commercial Code, except that:

(a) If the Revised Uniform Commercial Code requires a filing in an office where there was no previous financing statement, a new financing statement conforming to Section 11-106 shall be filed in that office; and

(b) If the financing statement or continuation statement relates to a security interest that cannot be perfected by filing under the Revised Uniform Commercial Code, this subsection shall be inapplicable.

(4) If the recording of a mortgage of real estate would have been effective as a fixture filing of goods described therein if the Revised Uniform Commercial Code had been in effect on the date of recording the mortgage, the recorded mortgage shall be deemed effective as a fixture filing as to such goods under former subsection (6) of Section 9-402 [see now Section 9-502, generally] of the Revised Uniform Commercial Code on the effective date of this Act.
