(b) For purposes of section 4-9-322 (a), the priority of a security interest that becomes enforceable under section 4-9-203 of this act dates from July 1, 2001, if the security interest is perfected under this act by the filing of a financing statement before said date which would not have been effective to perfect the security interest under former article 9.
