If a security interest is perfected at the date this amendatory act that added this section 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.","path":["MI Code","Chapter 440","Act Act-174-of-1962"],"source_url":"https://www.legislature.mi.gov/Laws/MCL?objectName=mcl-440-8601","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:31Z","sha256":"c7a20a0c06b2221a4e75870011a9150a5e4c72f96817bb908f136bbf941fbb2a","source_id":"us-mi","stale":false,"prev":"us-mi/mich.-comp.-laws-440.8511","next":"us-mi/mich.-comp.-laws-440.9101"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
