§ 454-C:3 — Entry of Information in Index

I. Except as otherwise provided in RSA 454-C:7, whenever any such lien, or a full release of any such lien, is filed with the secretary of state, an image of the notice of filing or full release, or the information contained in such notice, shall be entered in the index within 3 business days.
II. Except as otherwise provided in RSA 454-C:7, and only as to federal and state tax liens, whenever any such lien, or a full release of any such lien, is filed with a city or town clerk, the clerk shall within 2 business days transmit to the secretary of state, by mail or other medium prescribed or authorized by the secretary of state, a copy of, or an electronic record of all information contained in, the notice of filing of lien or notice of full release of lien submitted by the person or agency filing the lien or release pursuant to RSA 454-C:2. The term "business day" as used in the preceding sentence shall mean a day on which the clerk's office is open for business. Only the notice itself or electronic record thereof shall be so transmitted, not the other lien documentation filed with the notice. The secretary of state within 3 business days of such receipt shall enter an image of the notice or the information contained therein in the index, and shall periodically transmit to each such clerk an acknowledgment of receipt of such notices or electronic records. Pursuant to the statutes providing for the filing of each type of lien listed in RSA 454-C:1, I, no such liens other than federal and state tax liens will be filed with city or town clerks subsequent to the effective date of this chapter.
