HRS §490:11-103

Old U.C.C. transactions after the new law takes effect

This section says that deals made under the old U.C.C. between 1967 and 1979 stay valid after the new law starts. You can still finish, enforce, or end them under the new rules. Security interests that were already perfected keep working until they expire, unless section 490:11-105 says otherwise.
