Amends the Limited Liability Company Act in relation to definitions, a company's name, the nature of business, powers, records, supplemental principles of law, organization, articles of organization, amendment by managers, articles of amendment, filing an authorization, amendment or dissolution by judicial act, admission of members, liability of members and managers, the right to information, the agency of members and managers, company liability, management, standards of conduct, the operating agreement, the right to payments and reimbursement, actions by members, liability for contributions, distributions, claims against a dissolved company, distributional interests, rights of a transferee, rights of a creditor, dissolution, a member's dissociation, a right of action, proper plaintiffs, the law governing and admission of foreign liability companies, annual reports, fees, penalties, transitional provisions, and the effective date.

Effective January 1, 1998. SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 2. Adds reference to: 805 ILCS 180/150-10 rep. Provides that an operating agreement may determine whether a dissociation is wrongful, and it may eliminate or vary the obligation of the limited liability company to purchase the dissociated member's distributional interest (instead of allowing the agreement to restrict the right of a member to dissociate and to restrict or modify the obligation of the company to purchase the dissociated member's interest). Provides an exception to the provisions concerning a limited liability company being dissolved and requiring its business to be wound up upon the occurrence of certain events for when the members unanimously waive the right to have the company's business wound up and the company terminated. Provides that upon the filing of the articles of dissolution, the existence of the company shall terminate (instead of cease). Provides that the manager or managers at the time of termination (instead of dissolution) shall be trustee for the members and creditors. Provides that the member or members at the time of termination shall be trustee for the members and creditors. Provides that upon a member's dissociation from a limited liability company, the member's fiduciary duties terminate (instead of the member's duty of loyalty to refrain from competing with the company before the dissolution of the company terminates). Further amends the Limited Liability Company Act to repeal provisions concerning indemnification of managers, employees and agents and insurance. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.
