Bill Summary
A bill to amend 1917 PA 72, entitled"Uniform partnership act,"by amending section 6 (MCL 449.6).
AI Summary
This bill amends the Uniform Partnership Act to make the language gender-neutral by replacing gender-specific terms like "husband and wife" with "spouses" in the definition of a partnership. The bill clarifies that a partnership is an association of two or more persons who carry on a business for profit as co-owners, and specifically affirms that partnerships consisting only of spouses formed since January 10, 1942, are considered valid. Additionally, the bill maintains existing provisions about partnerships formed under other statutes, stating that such associations are not considered partnerships under this act unless they would have been considered partnerships in the state before the act's adoption. The bill is contingent upon a related constitutional amendment (via Senate or House Joint Resolution) being approved, which means it will only take effect if that constitutional change is successful.
