(a) If action, other than the filing of a financing statement, is taken before the effective date of the act adding this division and the action would have resulted in perfection of the security interest had the security interest become enforceable before the effective date of the act adding this division, the action is effective to perfect a security interest that attaches under the act adding this division before the adjustment date. An attached security interest becomes unperfected on the adjustment date unless the security interest becomes a perfected security interest under the act adding this division before the adjustment date.

(b) The filing of a financing statement before the effective date of the act adding this division is effective to perfect a security interest on the effective date of the act adding this division to the extent the filing would satisfy the requirements for perfection under the act adding this division.
