Illinois Compiled Statutes

Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

    (810 ILCS 5/9-805)
    Sec. 9-805. Effectiveness of action taken before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly.
    (a) Pre-effective-date filing effective. The filing of a financing statement before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly is effective to perfect a security interest to the extent the filing would satisfy the applicable requirements for perfection under Article 9 as amended by this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly.
    (b) When pre-effective-date filing becomes ineffective. This amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly does not render ineffective an effective financing statement that, before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly, is filed and satisfies the applicable requirements for perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in Article 9 as it existed before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly. However, except as otherwise provided in subsections (c) and (d) and Section 9-806, the financing statement ceases to be effective:
        (1) if the financing statement is filed in this
    
State, at the time the financing statement would have ceased to be effective had this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly not taken effect; or
        (2) if the financing statement is filed in another
    
jurisdiction, at the earlier of:
            (A) the time the financing statement would have
        
ceased to be effective under the law of that jurisdiction; or
            (B) June 30, 2018.
    (c) Continuation statement. The filing of a continuation statement after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly does not continue the effectiveness of a financing statement filed before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly. However, upon the timely filing of a continuation statement after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly and in accordance with the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in Article 9, the effectiveness of a financing statement filed in the same office in that jurisdiction before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly continues for the period provided by the law of that jurisdiction.
    (d) Application of subsection (b)(2)(B) to transmitting utility financing statement. Subsection (b)(2)(B) applies to a financing statement that, before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly, is filed against a transmitting utility and satisfies the applicable requirements for perfection under the law of the jurisdiction governing perfection as provided in Article 9 as it existed before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly, only to the extent that Article 9 as amended by this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly provides that the law of a jurisdiction other than the jurisdiction in which the financing statement is filed governs perfection of a security interest in collateral covered by the financing statement.
    (e) Application of Part 5. A financing statement that includes a financing statement filed before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly and a continuation statement filed after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly is effective only to the extent that it satisfies the requirements of Part 5 as amended by this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly for an initial financing statement. A financing statement that indicates that the debtor is a decedent's estate indicates that the collateral is being administered by a personal representative within the meaning of Section 9-503(a)(2) as amended by this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly. A financing statement that indicates that the debtor is a trust or is a trustee acting with respect to property held in trust indicates that the collateral is held in a trust within the meaning of Section 9-503(a)(3) as amended by this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly.

    (810 ILCS 5/9-806)
    Sec. 9-806. When initial financing statement suffices to continue effectiveness of financing statement.
    (a) Initial financing statement in lieu of continuation statement. The filing of an initial financing statement in the office specified in Section 9-501 continues the effectiveness of a financing statement filed before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly if:

that office would be effective to perfect a security interest under Article 9 as amended by this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly;
        (2) the pre-effective-date financing statement was
    
filed in an office in another State; and
        (3) the initial financing statement satisfies
    
subsection (c).
    (b) Period of continued effectiveness. The filing of an initial financing statement under subsection (a) continues the effectiveness of the pre-effective-date financing statement:
        (1) if the initial financing statement is filed
    
before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly, for the period provided in Section 9-515 as it existed before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly with respect to an initial financing statement; and
        (2) if the initial financing statement is filed after
    
the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly, for the period provided in Section 9-515 as amended by this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly with respect to an initial financing statement.
    (c) Requirements for initial financing statement under subsection (a). To be effective for purposes of subsection (a), an initial financing statement must:
        (1) satisfy the requirements of Part 5 as amended by
    
this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly 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.

amendment are filed in the office specified in Section 9-501;
        (2) an amendment is filed in the office specified in
    
Section 9-501 concurrently with, or after the filing in that office of, an initial financing statement that satisfies Section 9-806(c); or
        (3) an initial financing statement that provides the
    
information as amended and satisfies Section 9-806(c) is filed in the office specified in Section 9-501.
    (d) Method of amending: continuation. If the law of this State governs perfection of a security interest, the effectiveness of a pre-effective-date financing statement may be continued only under Section 9-805(c) and (e) or 9-806.

Whether or not the law of this State governs perfection of a security interest, the effectiveness of a pre-effective-date financing statement filed in this State may be terminated after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly 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 Section 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 this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly as the office in which to file a financing statement.
