READ FULL STORY
By Douglas M. Karlen,
Vice President and Regional Counsel
Chicago Title Insurance Company
On July 28, 2016, Governor Rauner signed into law a massive re-write of the Limited Liability Company Act, 805 ILCS 180/1-1 et seq. See Public Act 99-637 (HB 4361), effective July 1, 2017. This comprehensive revision of the Limited Liability Company Act (LLC Act) is based in large part on the Revised Uniform Limited Liability Company Act, a model act written by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. Although P.A. 99-637 amends many sections of the LLC Act merely to match the language of the model act, the new law makes some substantive changes and adds some new concepts. Attorneys who intend to form limited liability companies and draft operating agreements and related documents should study all 112 pages of P.A. 99-637. For a starting point in analyzing the new law, practitioners may consult M. Hector,
Proposed legislation makes sweeping changes to the Illinois LLC Act
, July 2016 Illinois Bar Journal, Vol. 104., pp. 12-13.
This issue of Karlen's Korner provides provisions of the new law that should be of interest to real estate practitioners.
