Sweeping changes took effect on July 1, 2001 to Article 9 of
the Uniform Commercial Code (Secured Transactions) in all but
four states (AL, CT, FL, M). To assist you in this transition,
we enclosed an information sheet highlighting how these historic
statutory amendments will affect the way you and your clients
effectuate and perfect secured transactions. As the information
sheets reveals, revised Article 9 not only impacts secured
transactions entered into after July 1, 2001; it also affects
filing statements filed before that date.
