This chapter determines the priority of conflicting claims to collateral. However, if the relative priorities of the claims were established before this chapter takes effect, former chapter 9 of this title determines priority.\n(b) Priority if security interest becomes enforceable under § 6A-9-203. For purposes of § 6A-9-322(a), the priority of a security interest that becomes enforceable under § 6A-9-203 of this chapter dates from the time this chapter takes effect if the security interest is perfected under this chapter by the filing of a financing statement before this chapter takes effect which would not have been effective to perfect the security interest under former chapter 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.","path":["Title 6A Uniform Commercial Code","Chapter 9 Secured Transactions","Part 7 Transition"],"source_url":"https://webserver.rilegislature.gov/Statutes/TITLE6A/6A-9/6A-7/6A-9-709.htm","current_through":"site files published 2025-08-13","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-05T18:38:09Z","sha256":"c72978d484f9b9878389ec7c6db26eb6c5fd9f6e9545a82992bfc7d7db6eefd4","source_id":"us-ri","stale":true,"prev":"us-ri/r.i.-gen.-laws-6a-9-708","next":"us-ri/r.i.-gen.-laws-6a-9-710"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
