84-9-411 through 84-9-414.
KANSAS COMMENT, 1996
K.S.A. 84-9-411 through 84-9-413 are nonuniform Kansas amendments to the UCC allowing the Secretary of State to provide UCC filing information in new ways and creating a Uniform Commercial Code fee fund. Amendments to the fee structure were adopted in 1986, and the specific references to microfilm and electronic media in 84-9-410(c), (d) and (e) were added in 1988, along with additional amendments to the fee structure. These provisions were added in the same bill that amended 84-9-401 to require a greater amount of central filing. See Kansas Comment 1996 to 84-9-401. The new methods of dispensing information are contained in 84-9-411(2) and 84-9-412, which permits dispensing the information by phone. Both provisions give immunity from liability for ordinary negligence. 84-9-411(5) and 84-9-412(4). See the Kansas Comment 1996 to 84-9-407(3). The information can be dispensed to interested parties or the recorder of deeds offices in the counties. This should reduce or eliminate the need for local creditors to travel to the Secretary of State's office in Topeka to check on filings against a debtor's collateral.
