12A:9-805. Effectiveness of Action Taken Before Effective Date. (a) Pre-effective-date filing effective. The filing of a financing statement before this act takes effect is effective to perfect a security interest to the extent the filing would satisfy the applicable requirements for perfection under Chapter 9 as amended by this act. (b) When pre-effective-date filing becomes ineffective. This act does not render ineffective an effective financing statement that, before this act takes effect, is filed and satisfies the applicable requirements for perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in Chapter 9 as it existed before amendment. However, except as otherwise provided in subsections (c) and (d) and 12A:9-806, the financing statement ceases to be effective: (1) if the financing statement is filed in this State, at the time the financing statement would have ceased to be effective had this act not taken effect; or (2) if the financing statement is filed in another jurisdiction, at the earlier of: (A) the time the financing statement would have ceased to be effective under the law of that jurisdiction; or (B) June 30, 2018. (c) Continuation statement. The filing of a continuation statement after this act takes effect does not continue the effectiveness of a financing statement filed before this act takes effect. However, upon the timely filing of a continuation statement after this act takes effect and in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in Chapter 9 as amended by this act, the effectiveness of a financing statement filed in the same office in that jurisdiction before this act takes effect continues for the period provided by the law of that jurisdiction. (d) Application of subsection (b)(2)(B) to transmitting utility financing statement. Subsection (b)(2)(B) applies to a financing statement that, before this act takes effect, is filed against a transmitting utility and satisfies the applicable requirements for perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in Chapter 9 as it existed before amendment, only to the extent that Chapter 9 as amended by this act 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) Application of Subchapter 5. A financing statement that includes a financing statement filed before this act takes effect and a continuation statement filed after this act takes effect is effective only to the extent that it satisfies the requirements of Subchapter 5 as amended by this act 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 12A:9-503(a)(2) as amended by this act. 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 12A:9-503(a)(3) as amended by this act.
