Effectiveness of action taken before effective date
Official statutory text
Sec. 705. (a) If action, other than the filing of a financing statement, is taken before IC 26-1-9.1 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 IC 26-1-9.1 takes effect, the action is effective to perfect a security interest that attaches under IC 26-1-9.1 within one (1) year after IC 26-1-9.1 takes effect. An attached security interest becomes unperfected one (1) year after IC 26-1-9.1 takes effect unless the security interest becomes a perfected security interest under IC 26-1-9.1 before the expiration of that period.
(b) The filing of a financing statement before IC 26-1-9.1 takes effect is effective to perfect a security interest to the extent the filing would satisfy the applicable requirements for perfection under IC 26-1-9.1.
(c) IC 26-1-9.1 does not render ineffective an effective financing statement that is filed before IC 26-1-9.1 takes effect and satisfied the applicable requirements for perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in IC 26-1-9-103, before its repeal. However, except as otherwise provided in subsections (d) and (e) and IC 26-1-9.1-706, 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 30, 2006.
(d) The filing of a continuation statement after IC 26-1-9.1 takes effect does not continue the effectiveness of the financing statement filed before IC 26-1-9.1 takes effect. However, upon the timely filing of a continuation statement after IC 26-1-9.1 takes effect and in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in IC 26-1-9.1-301 through IC 26-1-9.1-342, the effectiveness of a financing statement filed in the same office in that jurisdiction before IC 26-1-9.1 takes effect continues for the period provided by the law of that jurisdiction.
(e) Subsection (c)(2) applies to a financing statement that is filed against a transmitting utility before IC 26-1-9.1 takes effect and satisfied the applicable requirements for perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in IC 26-1-9-103, before its repeal, only to the extent that IC 26-1-9.1-301 through IC 26-1-9.1-342 provide that the law of a jurisdiction other than jurisdiction in which the financing statement is filed governs perfection of a security interest in collateral covered by the financing statement.
(f) A financing statement that includes a financing statement filed before IC 26-1-9.1 takes effect and a continuation statement filed after IC 26-1-9.1 takes effect is effective only to the extent that it satisfies the requirements of IC 26-1-9.1-501 through IC 26-1-9.1-527 for an initial financing statement.

(b) The filing of a financing statement before IC 26-1-9.1 takes effect is effective to perfect a security interest to the extent the filing would satisfy the applicable requirements for perfection under IC 26-1-9.1.

However, except as otherwise provided in subsections (d) and (e) and IC 26-1-9.1-706, the financing statement ceases to be effective at the earlier of:
