(1961, P.A. 79, S. 2; P.A. 73-426, S. 1, 2; P.A. 77-144, S. 2; P.A. 79-356, S. 7, 8; 79-440, S. 7; P.A. 86-379, S. 2; P.A. 89-116, S. 1; P.A. 14-154, S. 11.)
History: P.A. 73-426 added provisions in Subsec. (1)(b) re filing of certificates with corporation division of office of secretary of the state; P.A. 77-144 required that certificate state “the right, if given, to do an act which would make it impossible to carry on the ordinary business of the partnership”; P.A. 79-356 required in Subsec. (1) that persons desiring to form limited partnership “acknowledge” rather than “swear to” certificate and added Subsec. (3) re filing by limited partnerships formed in accordance with laws of another state; P.A. 79-440 essentially replaced previous provisions; P.A. 86-379 amended Subsec. (a) by deleting requirements re execution by two or more persons, filing certificate with secretary of the state, contents of certificate, except for name of limited partnership, address of office and agent for service, name and address of each general partner, latest date of dissolution and other matters partners determine to include; P.A. 89-116 amended Subsec. (a)(1) by adding requirement of address of office of limited partnership and deleted requirement of address of office of agent for service of process in Subsec. (a)(2); P.A. 14-154 amended Subsec. (a) to add Subdiv. (6) re electronic mail address of limited partnership, effective January 1, 2015.
