lists.
1. From the computerized central indexing system, the secretary of state or a designee
shall produce electronically a list for crops and a list for livestock that each contain the
information as filed pursuant to section 41-09-72. The secretary of state shall also
include on the lists the information filed for crops and livestock pursuant to sections
35-17-04, 35-30-02, and 35-31-02. The lists must be in alphabetical order according to
the last name of, or in numerical order according to the social security number of, the
person engaged in farming operations. The lists may be prepared in categories
according to county, regions as designated by the secretary of state, or on a statewide
basis. If requested, the lists must be in printed form. Each list must conspicuously note
the effective date of the list.
2. The secretary of state shall distribute by mail or deliver electronically the lists prepared
pursuant to subsection 1. If requested, the secretary of state shall mail or deliver
electronically the lists to any person making a request at a fee as provided in section
54-09-11.
3. Upon a verbal request of any person, the secretary of state or a designee of the
secretary of state shall verbally provide information contained on a list generated
through the computerized central indexing system if the collateral is crops or livestock.
The requesting party may request electronically a certificate from the central indexing
system to confirm the information given. Direct computer access is equivalent to oral
confirmation, and a computer printout constitutes the written confirmation of the
secretary of state, if use of this method of confirmation does not cause the central
indexing system to lose federal certification. A computer printout from the
computerized central indexing system constitutes the certificate of the secretary of
state as to whether there is on file, on the date and hour stated on the computer
printout, a financing statement.
