This bill continues the practice of amending periodically the Delaware Revised Uniform Partnership Act (the "Act") to keep it current and to maintain its national preeminence. The following is a section-by-section review of the proposed amendments of the Act. Section 1. This section amends 15-123 of the Act to confirm that the provisions of that section relating to a power of attorney also apply to a proxy. Sections 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. These sections amend 15-202(f), 15-401(m), 15-407(d), 15-407(e), 15-807(h) and 15-902(b) to delete surplus language and do not change the effect of those sections as, pursuant to 15-103 of the Act, a partnership agreement can otherwise provide with respect to those sections. Section 3. This section amends 15-401(l) of the Act to confirm that unless otherwise provided in a partnership agreement, a delegation of rights and powers is irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable. Section 9. This section amends 15-1207(a)(5) of the Act to confirm that in exchange for the fees described the Secretary of State may issue public records in the form of photocopies or electronic image copies and need not provide public records in any other form. Section 10. This section amends the proposed amendments of the Act shall become effective August 1, 2015, except that the amendment to Section 15-1207(a)(5) shall be effective upon its enactment into law.

An Act To Amend Chapter 15, Title 6 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Creation, Regulation, Operation And Dissolution Of Domestic Partnerships And The Registration And Regulation Of Foreign Limited Liability Partnerships.
