Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
7 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 3 costs, 3 mixed.
Higher fees for business records access
The Secretary of State charges for online records and subscriptions. Full database access (no images) costs $300 per week, $1,000 per month for a twice‑monthly service, or $800 per month. Image database access costs $800 per month, and single images online are $0.45 per page. Electronic certificates of registration status cost $6.50, and sealed certificates cost $10. Batch requests cost $15 for up to 1,000 businesses, plus $15 for each extra 1,000.
Bulk UCC data access and limits
The Secretary of State sells or licenses bulk UCC records to the public in all available formats. Fees are $800 for an initial file, $800 for monthly updates, or $300 for weekly updates. Bulk financing‑statement data is informational only and does not give the legal protection that comes with being a registered buyer.
Electronic filings and county records cleanup
Notices of lien on personal property are filed with the Secretary of State and can be entered by direct input or other electronic methods. County offices may destroy financing statements and related records after they are indexed in the central system. The law removes older display and ordering rules and repeals section 52-1313.01.
Annual fees for farm lien lists
To access a farm‑product master lien list, you register each year and pay a fee set by the Secretary of State. The fee cannot be more than $200 per farm product per year. Your registration is complete only after the form and fee are received.
Set fees for UCC filings
UCC filing fees are $14 if filed in writing or $11 by another authorized method. If the debtor is a transmitting utility and the filing shows that, the fee is $100. There is no fee for a termination statement. Information requests cost $5 in writing or $4.50 by another authorized method.
Federal property liens: filing and info
For federal liens on real property, the Secretary of State sends the notice to the named county register of deeds, who must file it. The lien is effective on the property when the county files it. Starting July 1, 2001, anyone can request information on federal liens filed on or after July 1, 1999, and pays the same fees used for UCC requests.
State tax lien fees and billing
The fee to present, release, continue, or subordinate a state tax lien equals two times the county register‑of‑deeds recording fee. If a filing names more than one county, each county’s fee equals that county’s recording fee. There is no fee for a termination statement. The Secretary of State bills the Tax Commissioner or Commissioner of Labor monthly; no payment is due at the time of filing.
