1. If a public utility changes its name or merges or consolidates with another person after the presentation for filing of a security instrument executed by it, a written statement of the change, merger or consolidation must promptly be presented for filing to the Secretary of State and each county where a notice has been recorded pursuant to NRS 105.050. The statement must be signed by the secured party and the public utility, identify the appropriate security instrument by file number and state the name of the public utility after the change, merger or consolidation.
2. A security instrument presented for filing before the change, merger or consolidation is not effective to provide perfection or notice of interests granted as security in property acquired by the public utility more than 4 months after the change, merger or consolidation, unless the written statement required by this section is presented for filing before the expiration of that time.
