Section 42a-9-705 - Effectiveness of action taken before October 1, 2001(a) If action, other than the filing of a financing statement, is taken before October 1, 2001, 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 October 1, 2001, the action is effective to perfect a security interest that attaches under public act 01-132 * within one year after October 1, 2001. An attached security interest becomes unperfected one year after October 1, 2001, unless the security interest becomes a perfected security interest under public act 01-132 * before the expiration of that period.(b) The filing of a financing statement before October 1, 2001, is effective to perfect a security interest to the extent the filing would satisfy the applicable requirements for perfection under public act 01-132 *.(c) Public act 01-132 * does not render ineffective an effective financing statement that, before October 1, 2001, is filed and satisfies the applicable requirements for perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in section 42a-9-103a of the general statutes, revision of 1958, revised to January 1, 2001. However, except as otherwise provided in subsections (d) and (e) and section 42a-9-706, the financing statement ceases to be effective at the earlier of: (1) The time the financing statement would have ceased to be effective under the law of the jurisdiction in which it is filed; or(d) The filing of a continuation statement after October 1, 2001, does not continue the effectiveness of the financing statement filed before October 1, 2001. However, upon the timely filing of a continuation statement after October 1, 2001, and in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in part 3 of this article, the effectiveness of a financing statement filed in the same office in that jurisdiction before October 1, 2001, continues for the period provided by the law of that jurisdiction.(e) Subdivision (2) of subsection (c) applies to a financing statement that, before October 1, 2001, 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 42a-9-103a of the general statutes, revision of 1958, revised to January 1, 2001, only to the extent that part 3 of this article 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.(f) A financing statement that includes a financing statement filed before October 1, 2001, and a continuation statement filed after October 1, 2001, is effective only to the extent that it satisfies the requirements of part 5 of this article for an initial financing statement.Conn.
