Section 47-9-703 - Security interest perfected before effective date

• (a)Continuing priority over lien creditor: perfection requirements satisfied. A security interest that is enforceable immediately before this act takes effect and would have priority over the rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor at that time is a perfected security interest under this act if, on July 1, 2001, the applicable requirements for enforceability and perfection under this act are satisfied without further action.

• (b)Continuing priority over lien creditor: perfection requirements not satisfied. Except as otherwise provided in § 47-9-705, if, immediately before July 1, 2001, a security interest is enforceable and would have priority over the rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor at that time, but the applicable requirements for enforceability or perfection under this act are not satisfied on July 1, 2001, the security interest:
  • (1) is a perfected security interest for one (1) year after this act takes effect;
  • (2) remains enforceable thereafter only if the security interest becomes enforceable under § 47-9-203 before the year expires; and
  • (3) remains perfected thereafter only if the applicable requirements for perfection under this act are satisfied before the year expires.
