New Virginia Law Requires Filing UCC Financing Statement to Perfect Security Interest in Certain Vehicles

In March, the Virginia General Assembly enacted House Bill 975 to amend the state’s motor vehicle title and registration law. The new law exempts any farm tractor or special construction and forestry equipment from state titling and registration requirements. The legislation defines “special construction and forestry equipment” to mean any vehicle designed primarily for highway construction, highway maintenance, earth moving, timber harvesting, or other construction or forestry work and which is not designed for transportation of persons or property on a public highway. House Bill 975 also addressed perfection of security interests in these vehicles. When the new law takes effect, a security interest in farm tractors or special construction and forestry equipment can only be perfected by filing a UCC financing statement.

The new law takes effect on July 1, 2010.

New! Jurisdiction Status Updates

CSC is pleased to announce that you can now view the current status of your entities, as reported by the Secretary of State or equivalent office, in relevant jurisdictions.

To view the Jurisdiction Status indicator, simply view the “Doing Business In” menu item for the relevant entity in our online records application. CSC changes status information as frequently as we receive updates from various jurisdictions.

In some cases, our records may more accurately reflect your entity’s status than state databases – for example, state records may take some time to reflect a withdrawal filing that we complete on your behalf. In these cases, we will display your entity’s CSC status in order to reflect the most up-to-date records.

CSC® Media

CSC® Media,in collaboration with LexisNexis® Matthew Bender®, is pleased to announce the May release of the 2010 Edition of The 50-State Qualification Handbook.

Corporations intending to do business in states other than their home states must first determine whether they need to qualify to do business there and, if so, fulfill the qualification requirements. But qualification can be a complex and time-consuming task. The consequences of making the wrong decision can be harsh, ranging from monetary penalties for a corporation to jail time for its officers and directors.

The 50-State Qualification Handbook is a comprehensive resource to help you make the important decisions about qualifying in states where you plan to do business, complete with the documents required to implement that decision.

The book includes case illustrations and discussion of business activities that do or do not trigger qualification requirements, annotated qualification statutes for all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and quick-reference charts on Activities That Do Not Constitute Doing Business and Consequences of Transacting Business without Authority. A companion CD Rom contains fillable PDF qualification forms.

You’ll find new case illustrations in the 2010 Edition, including cases that address the issue of which Internet activities require qualification. The text and charts have been updated to reflect new caselaw and statutory changes.

Changes are listed in the book’s Table of Sections Affected, while blacklined notes indicate the effects of the 2009 amendments. A Table of New Annotations allows readers to quickly identify the entries that have been added since the last edition. New annotations are also clearly marked with a gray bar in the pages of the book. The book also includes fee tables and a review of legislative and judicial developments from 1988 to 2010.

The book’s companion CD-ROM contains the full text of the selected cases, as well as 87 fillable PDF forms for incorporation/formation, qualification, merger, dissolution, and name reservation filings for all entity types in New York.
