Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Small funding to update state website

The state provides $100 to the Secretary of State for the budget year starting July 1, 2025. The money updates the agency website to reflect the new LLC rules. This is a one-time amount.

Stronger member protections in LLC agreements

LLC owners and managers get clearer rules for operating agreements. Courts read these agreements under state contract law (Title 28, chapter 3). Agreements cannot remove key duties or unreasonably block access to records; they can set fair standards and list allowed activities. All members must agree to approve acts that would otherwise break the duty of loyalty, after full disclosure. If language is unclear about ending the company, the law keeps the LLC going.
