56-1a507. Doing business without registration. (a) A foreign limited partnership doing business in the state of Kansas may not maintain any action, suit or proceeding in the state of Kansas until it has registered in this state and has paid to the state all fees and penalties for the years, or parts thereof, during which it did business in the state without having registered. (b) The failure of a foreign limited partnership to register in the state of Kansas does not: (1) Impair the validity of any contract or act of the foreign limited partnership; (2) impair the right of any other party to the contract to maintain any action, suit or proceeding on the contract; or (3) prevent the foreign limited partnership from defending any action, suit or proceeding in any court of the state of Kansas. (c) A limited partner of a foreign limited partnership is not liable as a general partner of the foreign limited partnership solely by reason of the limited partnership's having done business in the state of Kansas without registration.
