Succeeding continuation statements may be filed in the same manner to continue the effectiveness of the initial financing statement.(6) If a debtor is a transmitting utility and a filed initial financing statement so indicates, the financing statement is effective until a termination statement is filed.(7) A record of a mortgage satisfying the requirements of chapter 697 that is effective as a fixture filing under s. 679.5021(3) remains effective as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing until the mortgage is released or satisfied of record or its effectiveness otherwise terminates as to the real property.History.—s. 6, ch. 2001-198; s. 13, ch. 2012-59.
