in effect

(810 ILCS 5/8-603) Sec. 8-603. Savings clause. (a) This amendatory Act of 1995 does not affect an action or proceeding commenced before this amendatory Act of 1995 takes effect. (b) If a security interest in a security is perfected at the date this amendatory Act of 1995 takes effect, and the action by which the security interest was perfected would suffice to perfect a security interest under this amendatory Act of 1995, no further action is required to continue perfection. If a security interest in a security is perfected at the date this amendatory Act of 1995 takes effect but the action by which the security interest was perfected would not suffice to perfect a security interest under this amendatory Act of 1995, the security interest remains perfected for a period of 4 months after the effective date and continues perfected thereafter if appropriate action to perfect under this amendatory Act of 1995 is taken within that period. If a security interest is perfected at the date this amendatory Act of 1995 takes effect and the security interest can be perfected by filing under this amendatory Act of 1995, 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.
