other than the office of the Secretary of State, that is designated as the proper place to file a financing statement under Section 9-401(1) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect immediately before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly. The term applies only with respect to a record that covers a type of collateral as to which the filing office is designated in that Section as the proper place to file.

 
 
(2) "Former-Article-9 records" means:

 
 
 
(A) financing statements and other records that 
 
 
have been filed in a local-filing office before July 1, 2001, and that are, or upon processing and indexing will be, reflected in the index maintained, as of June 30, 2001, by the local-filing office for financing statements and other records filed in the local filing office before July 1, 2001.

 
 
 
(B) the index as of June 30, 2001.

 
(b) Except for a record terminating a former-Article-9 record, a
local-filing office must not accept for filing a record presented after June
30,
2001, whether or not the record relates to a financing statement filed in the
local-filing office before July 1, 2001. If the record terminating such
former-Article-9 record statement is in the standard form prescribed by the
Secretary of State, the uniform fee for filing and indexing the termination
statement in the office of a county recorder shall be $5 and otherwise shall
be $10, plus in each case an additional fee of $5 for each name more than one
at each address listed against which the record is required to be indexed.

 
(c) Until July 1, 2001, each local-filing office must maintain all
former-Article-9 records in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code as in
effect immediately before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the
91st General Assembly. A former-Article-9 record that is not reflected on the
index maintained on June 30, 2001, by the local-filing office must be
processed and indexed, and reflected on the index as of June 30, 2001, as soon
as practicable but in any event no later than July 30, 2001.

 
(d) Until at least June 30, 2008, each local-filing office must respond
to requests for information with respect to former-Article-9 records relating
to a debtor and issue certificates, in accordance with the Uniform Commercial
Code as in effect immediately before this amendatory Act of the 91st General
Assembly. The fees charged for responding to requests for information relating
to the debtor issuing the certificates with respect to former-Article-9
records must be the fees in effect under the Uniform Commercial Code as in
effect immediately before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the
91st General Assembly on June 30, 2001, unless a different fee is later set by
the local filing office. However, the different fee must not exceed $10 for
responding to a request for information relating to a debtor or $10 for
issuing a certificate.

 
(e) After June 30, 2008, each local-filing office may remove and
destroy, in accordance with any then applicable record retention law of this
State, all former-Article-9 records, including the related index.
