Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 17:33-5.1

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 6, March 18, 2024

(a) The duties and responsibilities of DORES with respect to the administration of the UCC are mainly ministerial. However, DORES has a duty to assist in protecting the integrity of the UCC filing system, and the filing office may reject certain filings pursuant to N.J.S.A. 12A:9-516.b. N.J.S.A. 12A:9-516.c provides that, for purposes of N.J.S.A. 12A:9-516.b, a record does not provide information if the filing office is unable to read or decipher the information in the record. Therefore, as set forth in this subchapter, DORES will reject certain filings in which the filing office is unable to decipher information in the record.

(b) Provided that there is no reason for refusal pursuant to this subchapter, DORES will accept UCC filings, assign file numbers, and index them in DORES' information management system.
