(a) The secretary of state shall refuse to accept a record for filing for a reason set forth in Subsection (b) of Section 55-9-516 NMSA 1978 and may refuse to accept a record for filing only for a reason set forth in that subsection.
(b) If a filing office refuses to accept a record for filing, it shall communicate to the person that presented the record the fact of and reason for the refusal and the date and time the record would have been filed had the filing office accepted it. The communication must be made at the time and in the manner prescribed by filing-office rule or by other law.
(c) A filed financing statement satisfying Subsections (a) and (b) of Section 55-9-502 NMSA 1978 is effective, even if the secretary of state is required to refuse to accept it for filing under Subsection (a) of this section. However, Section 55-9-338 NMSA 1978 applies to a filed financing statement providing information described in Paragraph (5) of Subsection (b) of Section 55-9-516 NMSA 1978 which is incorrect at the time the financing statement is filed.
(d) If a record communicated to a filing office provides information that relates to more than one debtor, this part applies as to each debtor separately.
