merger with the consent of fewer than all the partners; and [PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. C, §2 (NEW).]

of limited partnership that deletes a statement that the limited partnership is a limited liability limited
partnership is ineffective without the consent of each general partner unless:
A. The limited partnership's partnership agreement provides for the amendment with the consent
of fewer than all the general partners; and [PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. C, §2 (NEW).]
B. Each general partner that does not consent to the amendment has consented to the provision of
the partnership agreement. [PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. C, §2 (NEW).]
[PL 2005, c. 543, Pt. C, §2 (NEW).]

amended with the consent of fewer than all the partners.
