Copy with citation
Copy as parenthetical citation

(a) A security interest that is enforceable immediately before Acts 2001, No. 1439, takes effect on July 1, 2001, and would have priority over the rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor at that time is a perfected security interest under this act if, when this act takes effect, the applicable requirements for enforceability and perfection under this act are satisfied without further action.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in § 4-9-705, if, immediately before this act takes effect, a security interest is enforceable and would have priority over the rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor at that time, but the applicable requirements for enforceability or perfection under this act are not satisfied when this act takes effect, the security interest:

(1) is a perfected security interest for one (1) year after this act takes effect;

(2) remains enforceable thereafter only if the security interest becomes enforceable under § 4-9-203 before the year expires; and

(3) remains perfected thereafter only if the applicable requirements for perfection under this act are satisfied before the year expires.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this act, any financing statement referencing a transmitting utility as the debtor, which was sufficient for perfection of a security interest under former Chapter 9 under the Transmitting Utility Act,§ 4-19-101 et seq., and which was deemed a continuous filing before the effective date of this act, shall be sufficient for perfection of a security interest and maintain such continuously perfected status after the effective date of this act.
