This act determines the priority of conflicting claims to collateral. However, if the relative priorities of the claims were established before January 1, 2002, former Article 9 determines priority.
For purposes of Section 75-9-322(a), the priority of a security interest that becomes enforceable under Section 75-9-203 of this act dates from January 1, 2002 if the security interest is perfected under this act by the filing of a financing statement before January 1, 2002 which would not have been effective to perfect the security interest under former Article 9. This subsection does not apply to conflicting security interests each of which is perfected by the filing of such a financing statement.
