Last amended: 2011 session
§ 336.9-809 — Priority
Plain-Language Summary
This section sets the rule for which law governs priority among conflicting claims to the same collateral. Laws 2011, chapter 31, determines priority going forward. However, if the relative priorities of the competing claims were already established before Laws 2011, chapter 31, took effect, then Article 9 as it existed before that amendment controls instead.

Practical Notes
This is a transition rule for the 2011 amendments (Laws 2011, chapter 31) to Minnesota’s Uniform Commercial Code. Whether the amended law or the prior version of Article 9 decides a priority dispute turns on the timing: claims whose relative priority was fixed before the amendment took effect are governed by the older Article 9, while everything else is governed by the 2011 law.
