New York legislators approved changes to the state’s business laws in its latest session, including amendments to the Business Corporation Law, Limited Liability Company Law and Not-for-Profit Corporation Law.
Among the changes were amendments allowing business corporations to become professional service corporations and design professional service corporations by amending their certificates of incorporation and allowing limited liability companies to become professional limited liability companies by amending their certificates of organization. The purpose of the provisions is to allow these conversions to take place without dissolving and starting up businesses, which could result in adverse tax consequences, burdensome paperwork and possible cancellation of existing contracts.
Legislators also approved amendments to the state’s not-for-profit corporation law to preclude the possibility that a charitable nonprofit be controlled by any one member in order to prevent abuse by individuals who may try to use a charitable nonprofit for their own private interest, and to expressly permit voting directors from subsidiaries—who do not themselves serve on the parent nonprofit’s board of directors—to serve as voting members of a parent’s audit committee, for the purposes of overseeing audits of the parent or any subsidiary corporations.
The Spring 2019 edition of New York Laws Governing Business Entities Annotated captures the latest legislative changes through Chapter 19 of the 2019 Session. Blackline notes following each amended section make it easy for readers to identify changes.
The Spring Edition also includes 65 new case notes from New York state and federal courts interpreting the law. There are also find five new full-text cases covering recent legal developments regarding LLC membership, pre-suit demand, memoranda of understanding and corporate taxation.
