(a) Pre-effective-date filing effective.--The filing of a financing statement before the 2013 Revision takes effect is effective to perfect a security interest to the extent the filing would satisfy the applicable requirements for perfection under this division as amended by the 2013 Revision.
(b) When pre-effective-date filing becomes ineffective.--The 2013 Revision does not render ineffective an effective financing statement that, before the 2013 Revision takes effect, is filed and satisfies the applicable requirements for perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in this division as it existed before amendment by the 2013 Revision. However, except as otherwise provided in subsections (c) and (d) and section 9806 (relating to when initial financing statement suffices to continue effectiveness of financing statement), the financing statement ceases to be effective:
(1) if the financing statement is filed in this Commonwealth, at the time the financing statement would have ceased to be effective had the 2013 Revision not taken effect; or
(2) if the financing statement is filed in another jurisdiction, at the earlier of:
(i) the time the financing statement would have ceased to be effective under the law of that jurisdiction; or
(ii) June 30, 2018.
(c) Continuation statement.--The filing of a continuation statement after the 2013 Revision takes effect does not continue the effectiveness of a financing statement filed before the 2013 Revision takes effect. However, upon the timely filing of a continuation statement after the 2013 Revision takes effect and in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in this division as amended by the 2013 Revision, the effectiveness of a financing statement filed in the same office in that jurisdiction before the 2013 Revision takes effect continues for the period provided by the law of that jurisdiction.
(d) Application of subsection (b)(2)(ii) to transmitting utility financing statement.--Subsection (b)(2)(ii) applies to a financing statement that, before the 2013 Revision 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 this division as it existed before amendment by the 2013 Revision, only to the extent that this division as amended by the 2013 Revision 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 Chapter 95.--A financing statement that includes a financing statement filed before the 2013 Revision takes effect and a continuation statement filed after the 2013 Revision takes effect is effective only to the extent that it satisfies the requirements of Chapter 95 (relating to filing) as amended by the 2013 Revision 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 section 9503(a)(2) (relating to name of debtor and secured party) as amended by the 2013 Revision. 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 section 9503(a)(3) as amended by the 2013 Revision.
