If a security interest in a security is perfected at the date this act takes effect but the action by which the security interest was perfected would not suffice to perfect a security interest under this act, the security interest remains perfected for a period of 4 months after the effective date and continues perfected thereafter if appropriate action to perfect under this act is taken within that period. If a security interest is perfected at the date this act takes effect and the security interest can be perfected by filing under this act, a financing statement signed by the secured party instead of the debtor may be filed within that period to continue perfection or thereafter to perfect.\nHistory.—s. 24, ch. 98-11.","path":["CHAPTER 678 UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE: INVESTMENT SECURITIES"],"source_url":"https://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute\u0026URL=0600-0699/0678/0678.html","current_through":"2026 Florida Statutes","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:11:55Z","sha256":"caf4a9eedcbd0e4fa0a3f7308d4ebc7c03a458ba9cb110880e4a4d44091b550d","source_id":"us-fl","stale":false,"prev":"us-fl/fla.-stat.-678.1161","next":"us-fl/fla.-stat.-678.2011"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
