H.B. 2126 would provide for the formation of a professional limited liability company (LLC) with the right to exercise all the powers of a professional association or corporation. The procedure involved parallels the procedure for forming a professional corporation. LLC liability for losses is limited to the amount a shareholder invests and its obligations are limited to its assets.





Background
