11:53 AM -- HB 16-1329



Senator Heath and Senator Scheffel introduced House Bill 16-1329, concerning limited liability companies. The bill makes the following changes to state law regulating limited liability companies:

  • clarifies that the tax status of an LLC does not affect the immunity of a member of the company from liability for the company's acts;
  • limits the applicability of the statute of frauds, which requires certain contracts to be written to be enforceable, to operating agreements for LLCs; and
  • reconciles the various partnerships and LLC acts regarding compensation of a partner for services performed during the windup of the entity's affairs.
