The bill proposes a comprehensive overhaul of the Rhode Island Limited Liability Company Act, introducing a modernized framework that addresses various aspects of limited liability company (LLC) operations, including formation, dissolution, winding up, mergers, conversions, and domestications. Key provisions include the establishment of new sections that outline the requirements for forming and operating limited liability companies (LLCs) and registered limited liability partnerships (LLPs), including mandatory liability insurance for professional service providers.

The bill introduces a new section that mandates a registered limited liability partnership performing professional services to carry liability insurance, with specific coverage amounts based on the number of professional employees. It also clarifies the roles and responsibilities of members and managers, the process for transferring interests, and the conditions under which an LLC may be dissolved or converted into another entity.

Significant amendments include the repeal of outdated provisions and the introduction of new sections that streamline the registration and operation of both domestic and foreign LLCs. The bill specifies the conditions under which the Secretary of State may revoke an LLC's certificate of formation and outlines the process for reinstatement. It emphasizes the importance of operating agreements and clarifies that the internal affairs of an LLC are governed by state law.

Additionally, the act allows for the formation of low-profit limited liability companies (L3Cs) aimed at furthering charitable or educational goals. The act is set to take effect in stages, with certain sections becoming effective upon passage and others on January 1, 2028, ensuring a gradual transition to the new regulatory framework.
