(a)  Refusal to accept record.  A filing office may refuse to accept a record for filing only for a reason set forth in La. Rev. Stat. 10:9-516(b).

(b)  Notice of refusal.  If a filing office refuses to accept a record for filing, it shall inform the person that presented the record the fact of and reason for the refusal within  two business days after the filing office receives the record.

(c)  When filed financing statement effective.  A filed financing statement satisfying La. Rev. Stat. 10:9-502(a) and (b) is effective, even if the filing office is permitted to refuse to accept it for filing under Subsection (a).  However, La. Rev. Stat. 10:9-338 applies to a filed financing statement providing information described in La. Rev. Stat. 10:9-516(b)(5) which is incorrect at the time the financing statement is filed.

(d)  Separate application to multiple debtors.  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.
