Kansas Statutes Chapter 84. Uniform Commercial Code § 84-9-705. Effectiveness of action taken before effective date

(a) Pre-effective date action; one-year perfection period unless reperfected.If action, other than the filing of a financing statement, is taken before this act 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 this act takes effect, the action is effective to perfect a security interest that attaches under this act within one year after this act takes effect. An attached security interest becomes unperfected one year after this act takes effect unless the security interest becomes a perfected security interest under this act before the expiration of that period.

(b) Pre-effective date filing.The filing of a financing statement before this act takes effect is effective to perfect a security interest to the extent the filing would satisfy the applicable requirements for perfection under this act.

(c) Pre-effective date filing in jurisdiction formerly governing perfection.This act does not render ineffective an effective financing statement that, before this act takes effect, is filed and satisfies the applicable requirements for perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in K.S.A. 84-9-103, prior to the effective date of this act. However, except as otherwise provided in subsections (d), (e) and (f) and K.S.A. 84-9-706, and amendments thereto, a financing statement ceases to be effective at the earlier of:

(d) Continuation statement.The filing of a continuation statement after this act takes effect does not continue the effectiveness of the financing statement filed before this act takes effect. However, upon the timely filing of a continuation statement after this act 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 this act 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 this act 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 K.S.A. 84-9-103, prior to the effective date of this act, 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) Subsection (c)(2) does not apply to a financing statement that was filed in the proper place in the state before July 1, 2001, pursuant to K.S.A. 84-9-401, as such section existed immediately before July 1, 2001, and for which the proper place of filing in the state was not changed pursuant to K.S.A. 84-9-501, as such section existed on July 1, 2001.

(g) Application of Part 5. A financing statement that includes a financing statement filed before this act takes effect and a continuation statement filed after this act takes effect is effective only to the extent that it satisfies the requirements of part 5 for an initial financing statement.
