Operating agreement -- Effect on third parties and relationship to records effective on behalf of limited liability company

Renumbered and Amended by Chapter 93, 2026 General Session; Effective 10/1/2026

(1)

(a) An operating agreement may specify that the operating agreement's amendment requires the approval of a person that is not a party to the operating agreement or the satisfaction of a condition.

(b) An amendment is ineffective if the amendment's adoption does not include the required approval or satisfy the specified condition.

(2)

(a) The obligations of a limited liability company and the limited liability company's members to a person in the person's capacity as a transferee or a person dissociated as a member are governed by the operating agreement.

(b) Subject only to a court order issued under Subsection 16-20-503(2)(b) to effectuate a charging order, an amendment to the operating agreement made after a person becomes a transferee or is dissociated as a member:

(i) is effective with regard to any debt, obligation, or other liability of the limited liability company or its members to the person in the person's capacity as a transferee or person dissociated as a member; and

(ii) is not effective to the extent the amendment imposes a new debt, obligation, or other liability on the transferee or person dissociated as a member.

(3) If a record delivered by a limited liability company to the division for filing becomes effective and contains a provision that would be ineffective under Section 16-20-107 if contained in the operating agreement, the provision is ineffective in the record.

(4) Subject to Subsection (3), if a record delivered by a limited liability company to the division for filing becomes effective and conflicts with a provision of the operating agreement:

(a) the operating agreement prevails as to members, persons dissociated as members, transferees, and managers; and

(b) the record prevails as to other persons to the extent the persons reasonably rely on the record.
