§ 59-210.  Limited liability limited partnerships.

(2) The street address, and mailing address if different from the street address, of its principal office, and the county in which the principal office is located.

(3) The fiscal year end of the limited liability limited partnership.

(b) The terms and conditions on which a limited partnership becomes a limited liability limited partnership shall be approved in the manner provided in the partnership agreement; provided, however, if the partnership agreement does not contain any such provision, the terms and conditions must be approved (i) in the case of a limited partnership having a partnership agreement that expressly considers obligations to contribute to the partnership, in the manner necessary to amend those provisions, or (ii) in any other case, in the manner necessary to amend the partnership agreement.

(c) A limited partnership becomes a limited liability limited partnership when its application for registration becomes effective.

(1) The name of the limited liability limited partnership as reflected on the application for registration;

(2) The date of filing of the application for registration; and

(3) The amendment to the application for registration.

(2) The date of filing of the application for registration; and

(3) The effective date and time of cancellation if it is not to be effective at the time of filing the certificate.
