Description

Limited liability companies; assignment of interest. Amends the Virginia Limited Liability Company Act to permit the assignee of an interest in a limited liability company to participate in the management and affairs of the limited liability company, become a member of the limited liability company, receive distributions, and have other rights, if provided in the articles of organization or an operating agreement. The measure overturns the Virginia Supreme Court's finding in Ott v. Monroe that current law precludes such rights being transferred to an assignee. Read the Bill »
