This bill would provide that certain obligations of the contractual agreement, such as the obligation of good faith and fair dealing, could not be modified.

This bill would require a limited liability company to file with the Secretary of State certain documents providing for the formation, dissolution, merger, or conversion of the company as a means of providing notice to third parties.

This bill would provide that the right of a person to direct and oversee the activities and affairs of the limited liability company would be determined by the limited liability company agreement, and, where the agreement is silent, by the members of the company.

This bill would provide that a limited liability company may establish in its certificate of formation and its limited liability company agreement, one or more designated series of assets with which certain members may be associated and would provide that the assets of one series could not be used to satisfy the obligations of another series.
