§ 9907 Priority Of Conflicting Claims

The changes to this division made by the act adding this chapter determine the priority of conflicting claims to the collateral. However, if the relative priorities of the claims were established before those changes become effective and operative on January 1, 2015, this division as it existed before those changes become effective and operative determines priority. (Added by Stats. 2014, Ch. 284, Sec. 2. (AB 1858) Effective January 1, 2015.)
