NRS 104C.302 Security interest perfected before October 1, 2023.
1. A security interest that is enforceable and perfected immediately before October 1, 2023, is a perfected security interest under chapter 505, Statutes of Nevada 2023, if, on October 1, 2023, the requirements for enforceability and perfection under chapter 505, Statutes of Nevada 2023, are satisfied without further action.
2. If a security interest is enforceable and perfected immediately before October 1, 2023, but the requirements for enforceability or perfection under chapter 505, Statutes of Nevada 2023, are not satisfied on October 1, 2023, the security interest:
(a) Is a perfected security interest until the earlier of the time perfection would have ceased under the law in effect immediately before October 1, 2023, or July 1, 2025;
(b) Remains enforceable thereafter only if the security interest satisfies the requirements for enforceability under NRS 104.9203, as amended by section 52 of chapter 505, Statutes of Nevada 2023, before July 1, 2025; and
(c) Remains perfected thereafter only if the requirements for perfection under chapter 505, Statutes of Nevada 2023, are satisfied before the time specified in paragraph (a).
(Added to NRS by 2023, 3174)
NRS 104C.303 Security interest unperfected before October 1, 2023. A security interest that is enforceable immediately before October 1, 2023, but is unperfected at that time:
1. Remains an enforceable security interest until July 1, 2025;

(Added to NRS by 2023, 3175)
NRS 104C.304 Effectiveness of actions taken before October 1, 2023.
1. If action, other than the filing of a financing statement, is taken before October 1, 2023, and the action would have resulted in perfection of the security interest had the security interest become enforceable before October 1, 2023, the action is effective to perfect a security interest that attaches under chapter 505, Statutes of Nevada 2023, before July 1, 2025. An attached security interest becomes unperfected on July 1, 2025, unless the security interest becomes a perfected security interest under chapter 505, Statutes of Nevada 2023, before July 1, 2025.
2. The filing of a financing statement before October 1, 2023, is effective to perfect a security interest on October 1, 2023, to the extent the filing would satisfy the requirements for perfection under chapter 505, Statutes of Nevada 2023.
3. The taking of an action before October 1, 2023, is sufficient for the enforceability of a security interest on October 1, 2023, if the action would satisfy the requirements for enforceability under chapter 505, Statutes of Nevada 2023.
(Added to NRS by 2023, 3175)

2. Subject to subsection 3, if the priorities of claims to collateral were established before October 1, 2023, Article 9, as in effect before October 1, 2023, determines priority.
3. On July 1, 2025, to the extent the priorities determined by Article 9, as amended by chapter 505, Statutes of Nevada 2023, modify the priorities established before October 1, 2023, the priorities of claims to Article 12 property established before October 1, 2023, cease to apply.
(Added to NRS by 2023, 3175)
NRS 104C.306 Priority of claims when priority rules of Article 9 do not apply.

2. Subject to subsection 3, when the priority rules of Article 9, as amended by chapter 505, Statutes of Nevada 2023, do not apply and the priorities of claims to Article 12 property were established before October 1, 2023, law other than Article 12 determines priority.
3. When the priority rules of Article 9, as amended by chapter 505, Statutes of Nevada 2023, do not apply, to the extent the priorities determined by chapter 505, Statutes of Nevada 2023, modify the priorities established before October 1, 2023, the priorities of claims to Article 12 property established before October 1, 2023, cease to apply on July 1, 2025.
