(1961, P.A. 79, S. 24; 1963, P.A. 642, S. 37; P.A. 79-440, S. 8; P.A. 86-379, S. 22; P.A. 89-116, S. 5.)
History: 1963 act corrected faulty section reference in Subdiv. (e); P.A. 79-440 essentially replaced previous provisions which had required amendment of certificate when change in partnership name or amount or character of partner's contribution, limited partner is substituted or added, a partner dies, retires, etc. and business is continued, character of business changes, certificate contains erroneous statement or a time for dissolution is changed or fixed, etc; P.A. 86-379 deleted requirement that amendment be filed if amount, character or obligation of partner's contribution is changed, added “general” before “partner”, deleted language in Subsec. (c) re filing of amendment to show change of address and added Subsec. (f) re filing of restated certificate of limited partnership; P.A. 89-116 amended Subsec. (a)(2) by specifying date of filing of original certificate of limited partnership.
See Sec. 34-38b re inapplicability of provisions as amended by P.A. 86-379 to partnerships existing before October 1, 1986.
