If a security interest in a security is perfected at the date this chapter takes effect but the action by which the security interest was perfected would not suffice to perfect a security interest under this chapter, the security interest remains perfected for a period of four months after the effective date and continues perfected thereafter if appropriate action to perfect under this chapter is taken within that period. If a security interest is perfected at the date this chapter takes effect and the security interest can be perfected by filing under this chapter, 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":["Title 6A Uniform Commercial Code","Chapter 8 Investment Securities","Part 6 Transition Provisions"],"source_url":"https://webserver.rilegislature.gov/Statutes/TITLE6A/6A-8/6A-6/6A-8-601.htm","current_through":"site files published 2025-08-13","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-05T18:24:29Z","sha256":"f5cb2f1db1958fa26f40bbc64e1a05e5d34152b03f6e8ee6f75728c2e525a3af","source_id":"us-ri","stale":true,"prev":"us-ri/r.i.-gen.-laws-6a-8-511","next":"us-ri/r.i.-gen.-laws-6a-8-602"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
