AI Summary
This bill amends the Michigan Limited Liability Company Act to update language regarding how spouses can hold membership interests in a limited liability company (LLC). Specifically, the bill replaces gendered terms like "husband and wife" with the gender-neutral term "spouses" throughout the section. The legislation maintains the existing legal provisions that allow spouses to hold a membership interest in joint tenancy, with the same rights and conditions that apply to joint ownership of real estate. This means that if one spouse dies, the surviving spouse would have full right of ownership of the membership interest. The bill is tied to a constitutional resolution and will only take effect if that resolution is approved, ensuring that the language change aligns with potential broader constitutional updates. The change is part of a broader effort to make legal language more inclusive and gender-neutral, removing specific references to gender while preserving the substantive legal rights and protections.
