(810 ILCS 5/9-705)
Sec. 9-705. Effectiveness of action taken before effective date.
(a) Pre-effective-date action; one-year perfection period unless reperfected. If action, other than the filing of a financing statement, is taken before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly 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 the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly, the action is effective to perfect a security interest that attaches under this Act within one year after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly. An attached security interest becomes unperfected one year after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly unless the security interest becomes a perfected security interest under this Act before the expiration of that period.
(b) Pre-effective-date filing. The filing of a financing statement before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly is effective to perfect a security interest to the extent the filing would satisfy the applicable requirements for perfection under this Act.
(c) Pre-effective-date filing in jurisdiction formerly governing perfection. This Act does not render ineffective an effective financing statement that, before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly, is filed and satisfies the applicable requirements for perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in Section 9-103 of the Uniform Commercial Code as it existed before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly. However, except as otherwise provided in subsections (d) and (e) and Section 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
(2) June 30, 2006.
(d) Continuation statement. The filing of a continuation statement after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly does not continue the effectiveness of the financing statement filed before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly. However, upon the timely filing of a continuation statement after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly 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 the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly continues for the period provided by the law of that jurisdiction.
(e) Application of subsection (c)(2) to transmitting utility financing statement. Subsection (c)(2) applies to a financing statement that, before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly, 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 9-103, as that Section existed before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly, only to the extent that Part 3 provides that the law of a jurisdiction other than jurisdiction in which the financing statement is filed governs perfection of a security interest in collateral covered by the financing statement.
(f) Application of Part 5. A financing statement that includes a financing statement filed before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly and a continuation statement filed after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly is effective only to the extent that it satisfies the requirements of Part 5 for an initial financing statement.
