409.710(3) (3) Maintenance of records. Until July 1, 2008, each local filing office must maintain all former-ch.-409 records in accordance with ch. 409 , 1999 stats. A former-ch.-409 record that is not reflected on the index maintained at June 30, 2001, by the local filing office must be processed and indexed, and reflected on the index as of June 30, 2001, as soon as practicable but in any event no later than July 30, 2001.

Until at least June 30, 2008, each local filing office must respond to requests for information with respect to former-ch.-409 records relating to a debtor and issue certificates, in accordance with ch. 409 , 1999 stats. The fees charged for responding to requests for information relating to a debtor and issuing certificates with respect to former-ch.-409 records must be the fees in effect under ch. 409 , 1999 stats., on June 30, 2001, unless a different fee is later set by the local filing office.
