Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(805 ILCS 215/1111) Sec. 1111. Liability of general partner after merger. (a) A merger under this Article does not discharge any liability under Sections 404 and 607 of a person that was a general partner in or dissociated as a general partner from a constituent limited partnership, but: (1) the provisions of this Act pertaining to the |
| collection or discharge of the liability continue to apply to the liability;
|
|
(2) for the purposes of applying those provisions,
|
| the surviving organization is deemed to be the constituent limited partnership; and
|
|
(3) if a person is required to pay any amount under
|
|
(A) the person has a right of contribution from
|
| each other person that was liable as a general partner under Section 404 when the obligation was incurred and has not been released from the obligation under Section 607; and
|
|
(B) the contribution due from each of those
|
| persons is in proportion to the right to receive distributions in the capacity of general partner in effect for each of those persons when the obligation was incurred.
|
|
(b) In addition to any other liability provided by law:
(1) a person that immediately before a merger became
|
| effective was a general partner in a constituent limited partnership that was not a limited liability limited partnership is personally liable for each obligation of the surviving organization arising from a transaction with a third party after the merger becomes effective, if, at the time the third party enters into the transaction, the third party:
|
|
(A) does not have notice of the merger; and

|
|
(ii) the constituent limited partnership is
|
| not a limited liability limited partnership; and
|
|
(iii) the person is a general partner in the
|
| constituent limited partnership; and
|
|
(2) a person that was dissociated as a general
|
| partner from a constituent limited partnership before the merger became effective is personally liable for each obligation of the surviving organization arising from a transaction with a third party after the merger becomes effective, if:
|
|
(A) immediately before the merger became
|
| effective the surviving limited partnership was not a limited liability limited partnership; and
|
|
(B) at the time the third party enters into the
|
| transaction less than 2 years have passed since the person dissociated as a general partner and the third party:
|
|
(i) does not have notice of the dissociation;
(ii) does not have notice of the merger; and
|
|
(iii) reasonably believes that the surviving
|
| organization is the constituent limited partnership, the constituent limited partnership is not a limited liability limited partnership, and the person is a general partner in the constituent limited partnership.
