CO Code § 4-9.5-104.5 (2021)
2021 Colorado Code|Title 4 - Uniform Commercial Code|Article 9.5 - Central Filing of Effective Financing Statements|§ 4-9.5-104.5. Master List

  The central filing officer shall compile all effective financing statements or notices into a master list:   Containing the information referred to in section 4-9.5-105.3;    Organized according to farm product; and    Arranged within each such farm product:   In alphabetical order according to the last name of the individual debtors or, in the case of debtors doing business other than as individuals, the first word in the name of such debtors;    In numerical order according to the social security number, or other unique identifier, of the individual debtors or, in the case of debtors doing business other than as individuals, the federal internal revenue service taxpayer identification number, or other unique identifier, of such debtors;    Geographically by county; and    By crop year.            The central filing officer shall cause the information on the master list to be produced in lists organized in the same manner as the master list. (2) (a) The central filing officer shall cause the information on the master list to be produced in lists organized in the same manner as the master list.    If a registered buyer or other interested person so requests, the list or lists for such buyer or person may be limited to any county or group of counties where the farm product is used or produced, or to any crop year or years, or a combination of such identifiers.       All buyers of farm products, commission merchants, selling agents, and other persons may register with the central filing officer to access lists described in subsection (2) of this section. Any buyer of farm products, commission merchant, selling agent, or other person conducting business from multiple locations may be considered as one entity, at its option. Such registration shall be on an annual basis. The central filing officer shall prescribe the process for registration, which shall include the name and address of the registrant and the list or lists described in subsection (2) of this section that such registrant desires to receive. A registration shall be complete when the registrant has provided the required information and paid the prescribed fee. A registrant is deemed to be registered only as to those products, counties, and crop years for which the registrant requests a list.    The lists as produced pursuant to subsection (2) of this section shall be published and distributed by the central filing officer and shall reflect all effective financing statements that are effective as of the date of the compilation of the lists. The central filing officer shall determine the frequency with which the lists identified pursuant to subsection (2) of this section shall be compiled and distributed. Such lists may be distributed on an annual basis with three quarterly cumulative supplements or, if cost-effective, requested by registered buyers, and permitted by applicable federal law, the central filing officer may distribute more frequent supplements as determined by the central filing officer reflecting all new filings, changes, and terminations since the last list. The central filing officer may develop the form in which to distribute lists. If the name of the seller of a farm product is not on a list requested and received by a registrant, the sale of the farm product to the registrant shall be free of any security interest granted by that seller with respect to the farm product except as to any farm product for which the registrant has received direct notification of the existence of a security interest pursuant to 7 U.S.C. sec. 1631 (e)(1) and (g)(2)(A). The registrant may rely on the representation of the seller as to the seller's identity, so long as the reliance is in good faith.    The central filing officer shall remove from the master list any effective financing statement that has lapsed pursuant to section 4-9.5-105.3 (2) or has been terminated pursuant to section 4-9.5-107.    As soon as practicable, the central filing officer shall publish and distribute the master list electronically.      History.
