Com. Code, § 9805

(a) The filing of a financing statement before July 1, 2014, is effective to perfect a security interest to the extent the filing would satisfy the applicable requirements for perfection under this division as amended by this act.

(b) The changes to this division made by the act adding this chapter do not render ineffective an effective financing statement that, before July 1, 2014, is filed and satisfies the applicable requirements for perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in this division as it existed before that date. However, except as otherwise provided in subdivisions (c) and (d) and Section 9806, the financing statement ceases to be effective under the following conditions:

(1) If the financing statement is filed in this state, at the time the financing statement would have ceased to be effective had the changes to this division made by the act adding this chapter not become operative.

(2) If the financing statement is filed in another jurisdiction, at the earlier of the following:

(A) The time the financing statement would have ceased to be effective under the law of that jurisdiction.

(B) June 30, 2018.

(c) The filing of a continuation statement after July 1, 2014, does not continue the effectiveness of a financing statement filed before that date. However, upon the timely filing of a continuation statement after July 1, 2014, and in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in this division, the effectiveness of a financing statement filed in the same office in that jurisdiction before July 1, 2014, continues for the period provided by the law of that jurisdiction.

(d) Subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) applies to a financing statement that, before July 1, 2014, is filed against a transmitting utility and satisfies the applicable requirements for perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in this division as it existed before that date, only to the extent that this division 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.

(e) A financing statement that includes a financing statement filed before July 1, 2014, and a continuation statement filed after that date is effective only to the extent that it satisfies the requirements of Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 9501) as amended by the act adding this chapter for an initial financing statement. A financing statement that indicates that the debtor is a decedent’s estate indicates that the collateral is being administered by a personal representative within the meaning of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 9503, as amended by the act adding this chapter. A financing statement that indicates that the debtor is a trust or is a trustee acting with respect to property held in trust indicates that the collateral is held in a trust within the meaning of paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 9503 as amended by the act adding this chapter.
