(a) Law governing priority. Article 62A.9A RCW determines the priority of conflicting claims to collateral. However, if the relative priorities of the claims were established before July 1, 2001, *Article 62A.9 RCW determines priority.

(b) Priority if security interest becomes enforceable under RCW 62A.9A-203. For purposes of RCW 62A.9A-322(a), the priority of a security interest that becomes enforceable under RCW 62A.9A-203 dates from July 1, 2001, if the security interest is perfected under Article 62A.9A RCW by the filing of a financing statement before July 1, 2001, which would not have been effective to perfect the security interest under *Article 62A.9 RCW. This subsection does not apply to conflicting security interests each of which is perfected by the filing of such a financing statement.

*Reviser's note: Article 62A.9 RCW was repealed in its entirety by 2000 c 250 s 9A-901, effective July 1, 2001.

Effective date—2001 c 32: See note following RCW 62A.9A-102.
