The bill amends the Revised Judicature Act of 1961 by adding a new section, 5707, which allows limited liability companies (LLCs) to be represented in summary proceedings by a member under specific conditions. A member can represent the LLC if they possess direct and personal knowledge of the facts in the complaint. This provision applies only to LLCs that either have a single member who is an individual or have two members who are married individuals, provided they have filed a verified statement authorizing the representation with the court.

Additionally, if the LLC has two members who are married, representation is contingent upon a court employee reviewing the case file to confirm that the necessary verified statement has been submitted. The bill places the burden of proof on the party seeking to utilize this representation method and clarifies that such representation does not violate existing legal provisions.
