SESSION OF 1998


SUPPLEMENTAL NOTE ON SENATE BILL NO. 473


As Recommended by Senate Committee on
Judiciary




Brief(1)



S.B. 473 amends the limited partnership act to shift the presumption regarding dissolution in the case of the withdrawal of a general partner from one of partnership dissolution to a presumption of partnership continuance.





Background



The bill was recommended by the Tax, Probate, and Corporation sections of the Kansas Bar Association. The bill was suggested as a result of a change in federal tax regulations which now permit a person to "check-a-box" regarding how they want to be taxed either as a corporation or as a partnership regardless of how the entity is legally organized.



The bill has no fiscal impact.
