What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill allows an entity operated for profit and organized as a limited liability
company (LLC) to become a low-profit LLC by stating in its articles of organization
that it is a low-profit LLC. However, to qualify as a low-profit LLC, an LLC must
significantly further the accomplishment of one or more charitable or educational
purposes, cannot have the production of income or appreciation of property as its
primary purpose, and cannot have any political or legislative purpose. In general,
provisions of law applicable to LLCs also apply to low-profit LLCs, although one of
the permissible identifiers in the name of a low-profit LLC is "L3C" instead of "LLC."
