California Commercial Code 14106 – (1) If a security interest is perfected or has …
(1) If a security interest is perfected or has priority on January 1, 1976, as to all persons or as to certain persons without any filing or recording, and if the filing of a financing statement would be required for the perfection or priority of the security interest against those persons under this code, as amended by the Legislature at the 1973-74 Regular Session, the perfection and priority rights of the security interest continue until January 1, 1979. The perfection will then lapse unless a financing statement is filed as provided in subdivision (4) or unless the security interest is perfected otherwise than by filing.
(2) If a security interest is perfected on January 1, 1976, under a law other than this code which requires no further filing, refiling or recording to continue its perfection, perfection continues until and will lapse January 1, 1979, unless a financing statement is filed as provided in subdivision (4) or unless the security interest is perfected otherwise than by filing, or unless under Section 9311 the other law continues to govern filing.
