(a)The filing of a financing statement before July 1, 2013, is effective to perfect a security interest to the extent the filing would satisfy the applicable requirements for perfection under this article, as amended by House Bill 12-1262, enacted in 2012.
(b)House Bill 12-1262, enacted in 2012, does not render seriously misleading or otherwise ineffective an effective financing statement that, before July 1, 2013, was filed and satisfied the applicable requirements for perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in this article as it existed before July 1, 2013. However, except as otherwise provided in subsections
(c)and
(d)of this section and section 4-9-806, the financing statement ceases to be effective:
(1)If the financing statement was filed in this state, at the time the financing statement would have ceased to be effective had House Bill 12-1262, enacted in 2012, not taken effect; or
(2)If the financing statement was 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)The timely filing of a continuation statement on or after July 1, 2013, in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in this article, as amended by House Bill 12-1262, enacted in 2012, continues the effectiveness of a financing statement filed in the same office in that jurisdiction before July 1, 2013, for the period provided by the law of that jurisdiction, but only to the extent the financing statement, including any amendment filed before or, if permitted by the rules of the filing office, as part of, the continuation statement, satisfies the requirements of part 5 of this article, as amended by House Bill 12-1262, enacted in 2012, for an initial financing statement. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the filing of a continuation statement on or after July 1, 2013, does not continue the effectiveness of a financing statement filed before July 1, 2013.
(d)Subparagraph
(B)of paragraph
(2)of subsection
(b)of this section applies to a financing statement that, before July 1, 2013, 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 article as it existed before July 1, 2013, only to the extent that this article, as amended by House Bill 12-1262, enacted in 2012, 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)A financing statement that includes both a financing statement filed before July 1, 2013, and a continuation statement filed on or after July 1, 2013, is effective only to the extent that, after giving effect to any amendment filed before or, if permitted by the rules of the filing office, as part of, the continuation statement, the financing statement satisfies the requirements of part 5 of this article, as amended by House Bill 12-1262, enacted in 2012, for an initial financing statement. A financing statement filed before July 1, 2013, 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 4-9-503 (a)(2), as amended by House Bill 12-1262, enacted in 2012. A financing statement filed before July 1, 2013, 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 4-9-503 (a)(3), as amended by House Bill 12-1262, enacted in 2012.
