2021 Hawaii Revised Statutes|Title 27. Uniform Commercial Code|490. Uniform Commercial Code|490:11-106 Required refilings.

  §490:11-106 Required refilings. (1) If a security interest is perfected or has priority when this Act takes effect as to all persons or as to certain persons without any filing or recording, and if the filing of a financing statement would be required for the perfection or priority of the security interest against those persons under the new U.C.C., the perfection and priority rights of the security interest continue until three years after the effective date of the new U.C.C. The perfection will then lapse unless a financing statement is filed as provided in subsection (4) or unless the security interest is perfected otherwise than by filing.  (2) If a security interest is perfected when the new U.C.C. takes effect, under a law other than the U.C.C. which requires no further filing, refiling, or recording to continue its perfection, perfection continues until and will lapse three years after the new U.C.C. takes effect, unless a financing statement is filed as provided in subsection (4) or unless the security interest is perfected otherwise than by filing, or unless under section 490:9-311, the other law continues to govern filing.  (3) If a security interest is perfected by a filing, refiling or recording under a law repealed by this Act which required further filing, refiling or recording to continue its perfection, perfection continues and will lapse on the date provided by the law so repealed for such further filing, refiling or recording unless a financing statement is filed as provided in subsection (4) or unless the security interest is perfected otherwise than by filing.  (4) A financing statement may be filed within six months before the perfection of a security interest would otherwise lapse. Any such financing statement may be signed by either the debtor or the secured party. It must identify the security agreement, statement, or notice (however denominated in any statute or other law repealed or modified by this Act), state the office where and the date when the last filing, refiling, or recording, if any, was made with respect thereto, and the filing number, if any, or book and page, if any, of recording and further state that the security agreement, statement, or notice, however denominated, in another filing office under the U.C.C. or under any statute or other law repealed or modified by this Act is still effective. Section 490:9-501 determines the proper place to file the financing statement. Except as specified in this subsection, section 490:9-515 applies to the financing statement.
