History: 1978 Comp., § 55-9-521, enacted by Laws 2001, ch. 139, § 92; repealed and reenacted by Laws 2013, ch. 137, § 18.

OFFICIAL COMMENTS

UCC Official Comments by ALI & the NCCUSL. Reproduced with permission of the PEB for the UCC. All rights reserved.

1. Source. New.

2. "Safe Harbor" Written Forms. Although section 9-520 limits the bases upon which the filing office can refuse to accept records, this section provides sample written forms that must be accepted in every filing office in the country, as long as the filing office's rules permit it to accept written communications. By completing one of the forms in this section, a secured party can be certain that the filing office is obligated to accept it.

The forms in this section are based upon national financing statement forms that were in use under former article 9. Those forms were developed over an extended period and reflect the comments and suggestions of filing officers, secured parties and their counsel, and service companies. The formatting of those forms and of the ones in this section has been designed to reduce error by both filers and filing offices.

A filing office that accepts written communications may not reject, on grounds of form or format, a filing using these forms. Although filers are not required to use the forms, they are encouraged and can be expected to do so, inasmuch as the forms are well designed and avoid the risk of rejection on the basis of form or format. As their use expands, the forms will rapidly become familiar to both filers and filing office personnel. Filing offices may and should encourage the use of these forms by declaring them to be the "standard" (but not exclusive) forms for each jurisdiction, albeit without in any way suggesting that alternative forms are unacceptable.

The multi-purpose form in subsection (b) covers changes with respect to the debtor, the secured party, the collateral, and the status of the financing statement (termination and continuation). A single form may be used for several different types of amendments at once (e.g., both to change a debtor's name and continue the effectiveness of the financing statement).

Repeals and reenactments. — Laws 2013, ch. 137, § 18 repealed former 55-9-521 NMSA 1978 and enacted a new section, effective July 1, 2013.

Decisions under former Section 55-9-402 NMSA 1978. — In light of the similarity of this section and former Section 55-9-402 NMSA 1978, annotations decided under former Section 55-9-402 NMSA 1978 have been included in the annotations in this section.

Old security devices replaced by simplified procedures. — Under the terms of the code, the traditional distinctions among security devices such as conditional sales contracts and chattel mortgages are not retained. The code substitutes for such a simplified statutory procedure which applies to all transactions intended to create security interests in personal property and fixtures. 1962 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 62-01 (rendered under former law).
