MODEL STATUTES & related materials

Model Business Corporation Act (2007) [NB: There have been additional changes by the ABA; go here for the 2007 MBCA, plus revisions--you will have to scroll down the page to find the documents. The 2007 version is also known as the Fourth Edition. The version including 2010 amendments sells in paperback for a list price of $329.97. This is why I am pointing you to this site.  The difference between these online materials and the supplement for the course is that the online versions have explanatory comments.]

[As of January 1, 2014, the Florida Revised Limited Liability Company Act (the “New Florida LLC Act”), new Chapter 605 of the Florida Statutes, became effective for LLCs formed in Florida on or after January 1, 2014.  Existing Florida LLCs need not comply immediately with the New Florida LLC Act.  They remain subject to the old Florida Limited Liability Company Act, Chapter 608 of the Florida Statutes (the “Old Florida LLC Act”), until January 1, 2015--at which time Chapter 608 is repealed and the New Florida LLC Act becomes mandatory for all Florida LLCs. An existing LLC may chooose to become subject to the New Florida LLC Act at any time from and after January 1, 2014 by amending its operating agreement.

The New Florida LLC Act is a new statute that differs greatly from the Old Florida LLC Act.  The New Florida LLC Act is based primarily on a national model LLC Act, the 2006 Revised Uniform Limited Liability Company Act  (the “Model LLC Act”, last amended in 2011).  However, the drafters of the New Florida LLC Act also incorporated provisions from the Old Florida LLC Act, other model LLC and other entity acts, other Florida entity statutes and sources from other states.  Thus, in some sense, the New Florida LLC Act is a hybrid.]
