Brief(1)
S.B. 473 amends the limited partnership act to shift the presumption regarding dissolution in the case of the withdrawal of a general partner from one of partnership dissolution to a presumption of partnership continuance.
Background
The bill was recommended by the Tax, Probate, and Corporation sections of the Kansas Bar Association. The bill was suggested as a result of a change in federal tax regulations which now permit a person to "check-a-box" regarding how they want to be taxed either as a corporation or as a partnership regardless of how the entity is legally organized.
The bill has no fiscal impact.
