Michigan § 440.9705 - Effectiveness of action taken before effective date.

If action, other than the filing of a financing statement, is taken before this amendatory act takes effect and the action would have resulted in priority of a security interest over the rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor had the security interest become enforceable before this amendatory act takes effect, the action is effective to perfect a security interest that attaches under this amendatory act within 1 year after this amendatory act takes effect. An attached security interest becomes unperfected 1 year after this amendatory act takes effect unless the security interest becomes a perfected security interest under this amendatory act before the expiration of that period.

The filing of a financing statement before this amendatory act takes effect is effective to perfect a security interest to the extent the filing would satisfy the applicable requirements for perfection under this amendatory act.

This amendatory act does not render ineffective an effective financing statement that, before this amendatory act takes effect, is filed and satisfies the applicable requirements for perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in section 9103 before this amendatory act takes effect. However, except as otherwise provided in subsections (4) and (5) and section 9706, the financing statement ceases to be effective at the earlier of the following:

The time the financing statement would have ceased to be effective under the law of the jurisdiction in which it is filed.

June 30, 2006.

The filing of a continuation statement after this amendatory act takes effect does not continue the effectiveness of the financing statement filed before this amendatory act takes effect. However, upon the timely filing of a continuation statement after this amendatory act takes effect and in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in part 3, the effectiveness of a financing statement filed in the same office in that jurisdiction before this amendatory act takes effect continues for the period provided by the law of that jurisdiction.

Subsection (3)(b) applies to a financing statement that, before this amendatory 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 section 9103 before this amendatory act takes effect only to the extent that part 3 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.

A financing statement that includes a financing statement filed before this amendatory act takes effect and a continuation statement filed after this amendatory act takes effect is effective only to the extent that it satisfies the requirements of part 5 for an initial financing statement.
