DC Code § 28:9-405 (2021)
2021 District of Columbia Code|Title 28 - Commercial Instruments and Transactions. [Enacted title]|Subtitle I - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 9 - Secured Transactions|Part IV - Rights of Third Parties|§ 28:9-405. Modification of assigned contract

(a) A modification of or substitution for an assigned contract is effective against an assignee if made in good faith. The assignee acquires corresponding rights under the modified or substituted contract. The assignment may provide that the modification or substitution is a breach of contract by the assignor. This subsection is subject to subsections (b) through (d). (b) Subsection (a) applies to the extent that: (1) The right to payment or a part thereof under an assigned contract has not been fully earned by performance; or (2) The right to payment or a part thereof has been fully earned by performance and the account debtor has not received notification of the assignment under § 28:9-406(a). (c) This section is subject to law other than this article which establishes a different rule for an account debtor who is an individual and who incurred the obligation primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. (d) This section does not apply to an assignment of a health-care-insurance receivable.  (Oct. 26, 2000, D.C. Law 13-201, § 101, 47 DCR 7576.)  Uniform Commercial Code Comment 1. Source. Former Section 9-318(2). 2. Modification of Assigned Contract. The ability of account debtors and assignors to modify assigned contracts can be important, especially in the case of government contracts and complex contractual arrangements (e.g., construction contracts) with respect to which modifications are customary. Subsections (a) and (b) provide that good-faith modifications of assigned contracts are binding against an assignee to the extent that (i) the right to payment has not been fully earned or (ii) the right to payment has been earned and notification of the assignment has not been given to the account debtor. Former Section 9-318(2) did not validate modifications of fully-performed contracts under any circumstances, whether or not notification of the assignment had been given to the account debtor. Subsection (a) protects the interests of assignees by (i) limiting the effectiveness of modifications to those made in good faith, (ii) affording the assignee with corresponding rights under the contract as modified, and (iii) recognizing that the modification may be a breach of the assignor’s agreement with the assignee. 3. Consumer Account Debtors. Subsection (c) is new. It makes clear that the rules of this section are subject to other law establishing special rules for consumer account debtors. 4. Account Debtors on Health-Care-Insurance Receivables. Subsection (d) also is new. It provides that this section does not apply to an assignment of a health-care-insurance receivable. The obligation of an insurer with respect to a health-care-insurance receivable is governed by other law.
DC Code § 28:9-701 (2021)
2021 District of Columbia Code|Title 28 - Commercial Instruments and Transactions. [Enacted title]|Subtitle I - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 9 - Secured Transactions|Part VII - Transition|§ 28:9-701. Effective date

This article takes effect on July 1, 2001.  (Oct. 26, 2000, D.C. Law 13-201, § 101, 47 DCR 7576.)  Uniform Commercial Code Comment A uniform law as complex as Article 9 necessarily gives rise to difficult problems and uncertainties during the transition to the new law. As is customary for uniform laws, this Article is based on the general assumption that all States will have enacted substantially identical versions. While always important, uniformity is essential to the success of this Article. If former Article 9 is in effect in some jurisdictions, and this Article is in effect in others, horrendous complications may arise. For example, the proper place in which to file to perfect a security interest (and thus the status of a particular security interest as perfected or unperfected) would depend on whether the matter was litigated in a State in which former Article 9 was in effect or a State in which this Article was in effect. Accordingly, this section contemplates that States will adopt a uniform effective for this Article. Any one State’s failure to adopt the uniform effective date will greatly increase the cost and uncertainty surrounding the transition. Other problems arise from transactions and relationships that were entered into under former Article 9 or under non-UCC law and which remain outstanding on the effective date of this Article. The difficulties arise primarily because this Article expands the scope of former Article 9 to cover additional types of collateral and transactions and because it provides new methods of perfection for some types of collateral, different priority rules, and different choice-of-law rules governing perfection and priority. This Section and the other sections in this Part address primarily this second set of problems.
DC Code § 28:9-702 (2021)
2021 District of Columbia Code|Title 28 - Commercial Instruments and Transactions. [Enacted title]|Subtitle I - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 9 - Secured Transactions|Part VII - Transition|§ 28:9-702. Savings clause

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this part, this article applies to a transaction or lien within its scope, even if the transaction or lien was entered into or created before July 1, 2001. (b) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c) of this section and §§ 28:9-703 through 28:9-709: (1) Transactions and liens that were not governed by former Article 9, were validly entered into or created before July 1, 2001, and would be subject to this article if they had been entered into or created after July 1, 2001, and the rights, duties, and interests flowing from those transactions and liens, remain valid after July 1, 2001; and (2) The transactions and liens may be terminated, completed, consummated, and enforced as required or permitted by this article or by the law that otherwise would apply if this article had not taken effect. (c) This article shall not affect an action, case, or proceeding commenced before July 1, 2001.  (Oct. 26, 2000, D.C. Law 13-201, § 101, 47 DCR 7576.)  Uniform Commercial Code Comment 1. Pre-Effective-Date Transactions. Subsection (a) contains the general rule that this Article applies to transactions, security interests, and other liens within its scope (see Section 9-109), even if the transaction or lien was entered into or created before the effective date. Thus, secured transactions entered into under former Article 9 must be terminated, completed, consummated, and enforced under this Article. Subsection (b) is an exception to the general rule. It applies to valid, pre-effective-date transactions and liens that were not governed by former Article 9 but would be governed by this Article if they had been entered into or created after this Article takes effect. Under subsection (b), these valid transactions, such as the creation of agricultural liens and security interests in commercial tort claims, retain their validity under this Article and may be terminated, completed, consummated, and enforced under this Article. However, these transactions also may be terminated, completed, consummated, and enforced by the law that otherwise would apply had this Article not taken effect. 2. Judicial Proceedings Commenced Before Effective Date. As is usual in transition provisions, subsection (c) provides that this Article does not affect litigation pending on the effective date.
DC Code § 28:9-704 (2021)
2021 District of Columbia Code|Title 28 - Commercial Instruments and Transactions. [Enacted title]|Subtitle I - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 9 - Secured Transactions|Part VII - Transition|§ 28:9-704. Security interest unperfected before July 1, 2001

A security interest that is enforceable immediately before July 1, 2001 but which would be subordinate to the rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor at that time: (1) Remains an enforceable security interest for one year after July 1, 2001; (2) Remains enforceable thereafter if the security interest becomes enforceable under § 28:9-203 on July 1, 2001 or within one year thereafter; and (3) Becomes perfected: (A) Without further action, on July 1, 2001 if the applicable requirements for perfection under this article are satisfied before or at that time; or (B) When the applicable requirements for perfection are satisfied if the requirements are satisfied after that time.  (Oct. 26, 2000, D.C. Law 13-201, § 101, 47 DCR 7576.)  Uniform Commercial Code Comment This section deals with security interests that are enforceable but unperfected (i.e., subordinate to the rights of a person who becomes a lien creditor) under former Article 9 or other applicable law immediately before this Article takes effect. These security interests remain enforceable for one year after the effective date, and thereafter if the appropriate steps for attachment under this Article are taken before the one-year period expires. (This section’s treatment of enforceability is the same as that of Section 9-703.) The security interest becomes a perfected security interest on the effective date if, at that time, the security interest satisfies the requirements for perfection under this Article. If the security interest does not satisfy the requirements for perfection until sometime thereafter, it becomes a perfected security interest at that later time. Example: A security interest has attached under former Article 9 but is unperfected because the filed financing statement covers “all of debtor’s personal property” and controlling case law in the applicable jurisdiction has determined that this identification of collateral in a financing statement is insufficient. Upon the effective date of this Article, the financing statement becomes sufficient under Section 9-504(2). On that date the security interest becomes perfected. (This assumes, of course, that the financing statement is filed in the proper filing office under this Article.)

2021 District of Columbia Code|Title 28 - Commercial Instruments and Transactions. [Enacted title]|Subtitle I - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 9 - Secured Transactions|Part VII - Transition|§ 28:9-708. Persons entitled to file initial financing statement or continuation statement

A person may file an initial financing statement or a continuation statement under this part if: (1) The secured party of record authorizes the filing; and (2) The filing is necessary under this part: (A) To continue the effectiveness of a financing statement filed before July 1, 2001; or (B) To perfect or continue the perfection of a security interest.  (Oct. 26, 2000, D.C. Law 13-201, § 101, 47 DCR 7576.)  Uniform Commercial Code Comment This section permits a secured party to file an initial financing statement or continuation statement necessary under this Part to continue the effectiveness of a financing statement filed before this Article takes effect or to perfect or otherwise continue the perfection of a security interest. Because a filing described in this section typically operates to continue the effectiveness of a financing statement whose filing the debtor already has authorized, this section does not require authorization from the debtor.

2021 District of Columbia Code|Title 28 - Commercial Instruments and Transactions. [Enacted title]|Subtitle I - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 9 - Secured Transactions|Part VII - Transition|§ 28:9-709. Priority

(a) This article determines the priority of conflicting claims to collateral. However, if the relative priorities of the claims were established before July 1, 2001, former Article 9 determines priority. (b) For purposes of § 28:9-322(a), the priority of a security interest that becomes enforceable under § 28:9-203 dates from July 1, 2001 if the security interest is perfected under this article by the filing of a financing statement before July 1, 2001 which would not have been effective to perfect the security interest under former Article 9. This subsection does not apply to conflicting security interests each of which is perfected by the filing of such a financing statement.  (Oct. 26, 2000, D.C. Law 13-201, § 101, 47 DCR 7576.)

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this part, the amendments made by the 2012 Act apply to a transaction or lien within its scope, even if the transaction or lien was entered into or created before the applicability date. (b) The 2012 Act does not affect an action, case, or proceeding commenced before the applicability date.  (May 1, 2013, D.C. Law 19-302, § 2(s), 60 DCR 2688.)  Editor's Notes Applicability of D.C.

(a) A security interest that is a perfected security interest immediately before the applicability date is a perfected security interest under Article 9 as amended by the 2012 Act if, on the applicability date, the applicable requirements for attachment and perfection under Article 9 as amended by 2012 Act are satisfied without further action. (b) Except as otherwise provided in § 28:9-805, if, immediately before the applicability date, a security interest is a perfected security interest, but the applicable requirements for perfection under Article 9 as amended by the 2012 Act are not satisfied on the applicability date, the security interest remains perfected thereafter only if the applicable requirements for perfection under Article 9 as amended by the 2012 Act are satisfied within one year after the applicability date.

A security interest that is an unperfected security interest immediately before the applicability date becomes a perfected security interest: (1) Without further action, on the applicability date, if the applicable requirements for perfection under Article 9 as amended by the 2012 Act are satisfied before or at that time; or (2) When the applicable requirements for perfection are satisfied if the requirements are satisfied after that time.

When initial financing statement suffices to continue effectiveness of financing statement

(a) The filing of an initial financing statement in the office specified in § 28:9-501 continues the effectiveness of a financing statement filed before the applicability date if: (1) The filing of an initial financing statement in that office would be effective to perfect a security interest under Article 9 as amended by the 2012 Act; (2) The pre-effective-date financing statement was filed in an office in another state; and (3) The initial financing statement satisfies subsection (c) of this section. (b) The filing of an initial financing statement under subsection (a) of this section continues the effectiveness of the pre-effective-date financing statement: (1) If the initial financing statement is filed before the applicability date, for the period provided in § 28:9-515 as it existed before the applicability date with respect to an initial financing statement; and (2) If the initial financing statement is filed after the applicability date, for the period provided in § 28:9-515 as amended by the 2012 Act with respect to an initial financing statement. (c) To be effective for purposes of subsection (a) of this section, an initial financing statement must: (1) Satisfy the requirements of Part 5 as amended by the 2012 Act for an initial financing statement; (2) Identify the pre-effective-date financing statement by indicating the office in which the financing statement was filed and providing the dates of filing and file numbers, if any, of the financing statement and of the most recent continuation statement filed with respect to the financing statement; and (3) Indicate that the pre-effective-date financing statement remains effective.

(a) For the purposes of this section and § 28:9-806, “pre-effective-date financing statement” means a financing statement filed before the applicability date. (b) After the applicability date, a person may add or delete collateral covered by, continue or terminate the effectiveness of, or otherwise amend the information provided in a pre-effective-date financing statement only in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in Article 9 as amended by the 2012 Act. However, the effectiveness of a pre-effective-date financing statement also may be terminated in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction in which the financing statement is filed. (c) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d) of this section, if the law of the District governs perfection of a security interest, the information in a pre-effective-date financing statement may be amended after the applicability date only if: (1) The pre-effective-date financing statement and an amendment are filed in the office specified in § 28:9-501; (2) An amendment is filed in the office specified in § 28:9-501 concurrently with, or after the filing in that office of, an initial financing statement that satisfies § 28:9- 806(c); or (3) An initial financing statement that provides the information as amended and satisfies § 28:9-806(c) is filed in the office specified in § 28:9-501. (d) If the law of the District governs perfection of a security interest, the effectiveness of a pre-effective-date financing statement may be continued only under § 28:9-805(c) and (e) or § 28:9-806. (e) Whether or not the law of the District governs perfection of a security interest, the effectiveness of a pre-effective-date financing statement filed in the District may be terminated after the applicability date by filing a termination statement in the office in which the pre-effective-date financing statement is filed, unless an initial financing statement that satisfies § 28:9-806(c) has been filed in the office specified by the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in Article 9 as amended by the 2012 Act as the office in which to file a financing statement.
