A Nebraska Effective Financing Statement (NEWS) is a form used to perfect a security interest in Nebraska for creditors. It is used to provide notice of the security interest to third parties. The Nebraska Effective Financing Statement must be filed with the Nebraska Secretary of State in order to be effective. There are two types of Nebraska Effective Financing Statements: UCC-1 and UCC-3. The UCC-1 is used for new security interests, while the UCC-3 is used for amendments, terminations, and continuations of existing security interests. The NEWS must include the debtor and secured party's names, address, and tax identification number, as well as the description of the collateral and the filing date. It must also be signed by either the debtor or the secured party. The Nebraska Effective Financing Statement is an important tool for creditors to protect their interests in Nebraska.
