Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Easier financing statement filings for businesses

The filing office must accept a written initial financing statement that uses an IACA-approved form or a form the District’s Chief Financial Officer adopts by rule. The office can still refuse for the reasons in section 28:9-516(b). This sets one standard and lowers the chance a correct filing gets rejected.
