However, if the relative priorities of the claims were established before this act takes effect, former Chapter 9, Secured Transactions - Sales of Accounts, Contract Rights and Chattel Paper, determines priority.\n(2) For purposes of Subsection 70A-9a-322(1), the priority of a security interest that becomes enforceable under Section 70A-9a-203 of this act 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 Chapter 9, Secured Transactions - Sales of Accounts, Contract Rights and Chattel Paper. This Subsection (2) does not apply to conflicting security interests each of which is perfected by the filing of such a financing statement.","path":["Title 70A Uniform Commercial Code","Chapter 70A-9a Uniform Commercial Code - Secured Transactions","Part 70A-9a-7 Transition"],"source_url":"https://le.utah.gov/xcode/Title70A/Chapter9a/70A-9a-S709.html","current_through":"2026 General Session","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-03T11:34:34Z","sha256":"b34d03f76d4839fceab2cbc53a2b9b170723abce7896d3e81d0e2ef4839acf45","source_id":"us-ut","stale":false,"prev":"us-ut/utah-code-70a-9a-708","next":"us-ut/utah-code-70a-9a-801"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
