Sec. 709. (a) IC 26-1-9, before its repeal, determines the priority of conflicting claims to collateral if the relative priorities of the claims were established before IC 26-1-9.1 takes effect. In other cases, IC 26-1-9.1 determines priority.
(b) For purposes of IC 26-1-9.1-322(a), the priority of a security interest that becomes enforceable under IC 26-1-9.1-203 dates from the time IC 26-1-9.1 takes effect if the security interest is perfected under IC 26-1-9.1 by the filing of a financing statement before IC 26-1-9.1 takes effect which would not have been effective to perfect the security interest under IC 26-1-9, before its repeal. This subsection does not apply to conflicting security interests each of which is perfected by the filing of such a financing statement.
