SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)

Limited liability companies; parties to actions, professional entities and recordation tax. Clarifies that a member of a limited liability company is not barred from being a party in an action against a limited liability company when the member has an interest in the action independent of being a member of the limited liability company. The measure also provides that (i) the terms of a limited liability company's articles of organization or operating agreement cannot alter the definition of "membership interest" as a member's share of the profits and the losses of the limited liability company and the right to receive distributions of the limited liability company's assets and (ii) the term "professional corporation" shall not be deemed to include a professional limited liability company when it is used in any section of the Virginia Professional Limited Liability Company Act or in Chapter 7 of Title 13.1, which pertains to professional corporations. Finally, the measure provides that the state recordation tax levied on every deed admitted to record and on every contract or memorandum thereof relating to real or personal property admitted to record shall not apply to any deed conveying real estate or lease of real estate to the surviving or new limited partnership or business trust upon a merger to which two or more business entities are parties. This bill is identical to HB 2292.
