2023 California Code › Commercial Code - COM › DIVISION 9 - SECURED TRANSACTIONS › CHAPTER 7 - Transition › Section 9703.

9703. (a) A security interest that is enforceable immediately before July 1, 2001, and would have priority over the rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor at that time is a perfected security interest under this division if, on July 1, 2001, the applicable requirements for enforceability and perfection under this division are satisfied without further action.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9705, if, immediately before July 1, 2001, a security interest is enforceable and would have priority over the rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor at that time, but the applicable requirements for enforceability or perfection under this division are not satisfied on July 1, 2001, when all of the following rules apply with respect to the security interest:
(1) It is a perfected security interest until July 1, 2002.
(2) It remains enforceable thereafter only if the security interest becomes enforceable under Section 9203 before July 1, 2002.
(3) It remains perfected thereafter only if the applicable requirements for perfection under this division are satisfied before July 1, 2002.
(Added by Stats. 1999, Ch. 991, Sec. 35. Effective January 1, 2000. Operative July 1, 2001, by Sec. 75 of Ch. 991 and Section 9701.)
2023 California Code › Commercial Code - COM › DIVISION 9 - SECURED TRANSACTIONS › CHAPTER 7 - Transition › Section 9704.

9704. All of the following rules apply with respect to 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) It remains an enforceable security interest until July 1, 2002.
(2) It remains enforceable thereafter if the security interest becomes enforceable under Section 9203 on July 1, 2001, or on July 1, 2002.
(3) It becomes perfected in either of the following ways:
(A) Without further action, on July 1, 2001, if the applicable requirements for perfection under this division are satisfied on or before that time.
(B) When the applicable requirements for perfection are satisfied if the requirements are satisfied after that time.
(Added by Stats. 1999, Ch. 991, Sec. 35. Effective January 1, 2000. Operative July 1, 2001, by Sec. 75 of Ch. 991 and Section 9701.)
2023 California Code › Commercial Code - COM › DIVISION 9 - SECURED TRANSACTIONS › CHAPTER 7 - Transition › Section 9705.

9705. (a) If action, other than the filing of a financing statement, is taken before July 1, 2001, and the action would have resulted in priority of a security interest over the rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor had the security interest become enforceable before July 1, 2001, the action is effective to perfect a security interest that attaches under this division on or before July 1, 2002. An attached security interest becomes unperfected on July 1, 2002, unless the security interest becomes a perfected security interest under this division before that date.
(b) The filing of a financing statement before July 1, 2001, is effective to perfect a security interest to the extent the filing would satisfy the applicable requirements for perfection under this division.
(c) This division does not render ineffective an effective financing statement that, before July 1, 2001, is filed and satisfies the applicable requirements for perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in former Section 9103. However, except as otherwise provided in subdivisions (d) and (e) and in Section 9706, the financing statement ceases to be effective at the earlier of either of the following:
(1) The time the financing statement would have ceased to be effective under the law of the jurisdiction in which it is filed.
(2) June 30, 2006.
(d) The filing of a continuation statement after July 1, 2001, does not continue the effectiveness of the financing statement filed before July 1, 2001. However, upon the timely filing of a continuation statement after July 1, 2001, and in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 9301), the effectiveness of a financing statement filed in the same office in that jurisdiction before July 1, 2001, continues for the period provided by the law of that jurisdiction.
