§ 41-09-91 — (9-520) Acceptance and refusal to accept record

1. A filing office shall refuse to accept a record for filing for a reason set forth in
subsection 2 of section 41-09-87 and may refuse to accept a record for filing only for a
reason set forth in subsection 2 of section 41-09-87.
2. If a filing office refuses to accept a record for filing, it shall communicate to the person
that presented the record the fact of and reason for the refusal and the date and time
the record would have been filed had the filing office accepted it. The communication
must be made at the time and in the manner prescribed by filing-office rule but in no
event more than two business days after the filing office receives the record.
3. A filed financing statement satisfying subsections 1 and 2 of section 41-09-73 is
effective, even if the filing office is required to refuse to accept it for filing under
subsection 1. However, section 41-09-58 applies to a filed financing statement
providing information described in subdivision e of subsection 2 of section 41-09-87
which is incorrect at the time the financing statement is filed.
4. If a record communicated to a filing office provides information that relates to more
than one debtor, this part applies as to each debtor separately.
