PRIORITY
(a) This act determines the priority of conflicting claims to
collateral. However, if the relative priorities of the claims were
established before this act takes effect, former Article 9
determines priority.
(b) For purposes of subsection (a) of Section 1-9-322 of this
title, the priority of a security interest that becomes enforceable
under Section 1-9-203 of this title dates from the time this act
takes effect if the security interest is perfected under this act by
the filing of a financing statement before this act takes effect
which would not have been effective to perfect the security interest
under former Article 9 of this title. This subsection does not
apply to conflicting security interests each of which is perfected
by the filing of such a financing statement.
