    AN ACT to amend the Revised Uniform  Limited  Partnership
Act by changing Section 702.

    Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:

    Section 5.  The Revised Uniform Limited  Partnership  Act
is amended by changing Section 702 as follows:

    (805 ILCS 210/702) (from Ch. 106 1/2, par. 157-2)
    Sec. 702.  Assignment of a Partnership Interest.
    (a)  Except as provided in the partnership agreement:
         (1),  a  partnership interest is assignable in whole
    or in part;
         (2). an assignment of a  partnership  interest  does
    not  dissolve  a limited partnership or, unless otherwise
    provided  in  the  partnership  agreement,  entitle   the
    assignee to become a partner or to exercise any rights or
    powers of a partner;
         (3)  an   assignment   of   a  partnership  interest
    entitles the  assignee  to  share  in  such  profits  and
    losses,  to  receive  such distribution or distributions,
    and to receive such  allocation of  income,  gain,  loss,
    deduction,  or  credit  or  similar  item  to  which  the
    assignor  was  entitled,  to  the  extent  assigned; and.
    Except as provided in the partnership agreement,
         (4)  a partner ceases to be a partner  and  to  have
    the  power  to exercise any rights or powers of a partner
    upon the assignment of all  of  his  or  her  partnership
    interest.  Unless  otherwise  provided  in  a partnership
    agreement, the pledge  of,  or  granting  of  a  security
    interest,  lien,  or other encumbrance in or against, any
    or all of the partnership interest of a partner shall not
    cause the partner to cease to be a partner or to have the
    power to exercise any rights or powers of a partner.
    (b)  The  partnership  agreement  may  provide   that   a
partner's  interest in a limited partnership may be evidenced
by a  certificate  of  partnership  interest  issued  by  the
limited  partnership  and may also provide for the assignment
or transfer of any partnership interest represented by such a
certificate and make other provisions with  respect  to  such
certificates.
    (c)  Unless otherwise provided in a partnership agreement
and  except  to  the  extent  assumed  by agreement, until an
assignee of a partnership interest  becomes  a  partner,  the
assignee  shall  have  no  liability as a partner solely as a
result of the assignment.
    (d)  Unless  otherwise  provided   in   the   partnership
agreement,  a  limited  partnership may acquire, by purchase,
redemption, or otherwise, any partnership interest  or  other
interest  of  a  partner  in  the limited partnership. Unless
otherwise provided in the  partnership  agreement,  any  such
interest  so  acquired  by  the  limited partnership shall be
deemed canceled.
