partnership:
A. Is permissible; [PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. A, §2 (NEW).]
B. Does not by itself cause the partner's dissociation or a dissolution and winding up of the
partnership business; and [PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. A, §2 (NEW).]
C. Does not, as against the other partners or the partnership, entitle the transferee, during the
continuance of the partnership, to participate in the management or conduct of the partnership

business, to require access to information concerning partnership transactions or to inspect or copy
the partnership books or records. [PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. A, §2 (NEW).]

2. Transferee of partner's interest. A transferee of a partner's transferable interest in the
partnership has a right:

otherwise be entitled; [PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. A, §2 (NEW).]
B. To receive upon the dissolution and winding up of the partnership business, in accordance with
the transfer, the net amount otherwise distributable to the transferor; and [PL 2005, c. 543, Pt.
A, §2 (NEW).]

partner other than the interest in distributions transferred.
[PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. A, §2 (NEW).]

under this section until the partnership has notice of the transfer.

violation of a restriction on transfer contained in the partnership agreement is ineffective as to a person
