Ohio Rev. Code § 1309.704: Security interest unperfected before effective date - UCC 9-704.

A security interest that is enforceable immediately before July 1, 2001, but that would be subordinate to the rights of a person that becomes a lien creditor at that time:

(A) Remains an enforceable security interest until July 1, 2002;

(B) Remains enforceable after July 1, 2002, if the security interest becomes enforceable under section 1309.203 of the Revised Code on July 1, 2001, or by July 1, 2002; and

(C) Becomes perfected:

(1) Without further action on July 1, 2001, if the applicable requirements for perfection under this chapter are satisfied before or on that date; or

(2) When the applicable requirements for perfection are satisfied if the requirements are satisfied after July 1, 2001.
