84-9-805. Effectiveness of action taken before effective date. (a) Pre-effective-date filing effective. 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 article 9 of chapter 84 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated, and as amended by this act.

(b) When pre-effective-date filing becomes ineffective. This act does not render ineffective an effective financing statement that, before July 1, 2013, is filed and satisfies the applicable requirements for perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in article 9 of chapter 84 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated, prior to amendments by this act. However, except as otherwise provided in subsections (c) and (d) and K.S.A. 202 Supp. 84-9-806, and amendments thereto, the financing statement ceases to be effective:

(1) If the financing statement is filed in this state, at the time the financing statement would have ceased to be effective had this act not taken effect; or

(2) if the financing statement is filed in another jurisdiction, at the earlier of:

(A) At the time the financing statement would have ceased to be effective under the law of that jurisdiction; or

(B) June 30, 2018.

(c) Continuation statement. The filing of a continuation statement after July 1, 2013, does not continue the effectiveness of a financing statement filed before this act takes effect. However, upon the timely filing of a continuation statement after July 1, 2013, and in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in article 9 of chapter 84 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated, as amended by this act, the effectiveness of a financing statement filed in the same office in that jurisdiction before July 1, 2013, continues for a period provided by the law of that jurisdiction.

(d) Application of subsection (b)(2)(B) to transmitting utility financing statement. Subsection (b)(2)(B) 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 article 9 of chapter 84 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated, prior to amendments by this act, only to the extent that article 9 of chapter 84 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated, as amended by this act, 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) Application of part 5. A financing statement that includes a financing statement filed before July 1, 2013, and a continuation statement filed after July 1, 2013, is effective only to the extent that it satisfies the requirements of part 5 of article 9 of chapter 84 of the Kansas Statutes Annotated, as amended by this act, for an initial financing statement. A financing statement 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 K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 84-9-503(a)(2), as amended by this act. A financing statement that indicates that the debtor is a trust or trustee acting with respect to property held in trust indicates that the collateral is held in a trust within the meaning of K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 84-9-503(a)(3), as amended by this act.
