  section twenty-six of this chapter, a statement that  all  or  specified
  partners  are  so  liable  for such debts, obligations or liabilities in

  partnership  as  authorized  pursuant  to  subdivision  (d)  of  section
  twenty-six of this chapter; and
    (9)  any  other  matters  the  partnership  without  limited  partners
  determines to include in the registration.
    (II)  (A)  Within  one hundred twenty days after the effective date of
  the registration, a  copy  of  the  same  or  a  notice  containing  the

  substance  thereof  shall  be  published  once  in  each  week  for  six
  successive weeks, in two newspapers of the county in which the principal
  office of the registered limited liability  partnership  is  located  in
  this state, one newspaper printed weekly and one newspaper to be printed
  daily, to be designated by the county clerk. When such county is located
  within a city with a population of one million or more, such designation

  judicial  proceedings.  Proof  of  the  publication  required  by   this
  subparagraph,  consisting  of  the  certificate  of  publication  of the
  registered  limited  liability  partnership  with  the   affidavits   of
  publication annexed thereto, must be filed, with a fee of fifty dollars,
  with  the  department  of  state. Notwithstanding any other provision of
  law, if the office of the registered limited  liability  partnership  is
  located  in  a county wherein a weekly or daily newspaper of the county,
  or both, has not been so  designated  by  the  county  clerk,  then  the
  publication herein required shall be made in a weekly or daily newspaper
  of any county, or both, as the case may be, which is contiguous to, such
  county,   provided   that   any  such  newspaper  meets  all  the  other
  requirements of this subparagraph. A  copy  or  notice  published  in  a
  newspaper  other  than  the  newspaper  or  newspapers designated by the
  county clerk shall not be deemed to be one of the publications  required
  by  this  paragraph.  The  notice  shall  include:  (1)  the name of the
  registered limited liability partnership; (2) the date of filing of  the
  registration  with  the  department of state; (3) the county within this
  state, in which the principal office of the registered limited liability
  partnership is located;  (3-a)  the  street  address  of  the  principal
  business  location,  if any; (4) a statement that the secretary of state
  has been  designated  as  agent  of  the  registered  limited  liability
  partnership  upon  whom  process  against  it may be served and the post
  office address within or without this state to which  the  secretary  of
  state  shall  mail  a  copy of any process against it served upon him or
  her; (5) if the registered limited liability partnership is  to  have  a
  registered  agent,  his  or her name and address within this state and a
  statement that the registered agent is to be the agent of the registered
  limited liability partnership  upon  whom  process  against  it  may  be
  served; (6) if the registered limited liability partnership is to have a
  specific  date  of  dissolution in addition to the events of dissolution
  set forth in section sixty-two of this chapter,  the  latest  date  upon
  which  the  registered limited liability partnership is to dissolve; and
  (7) the character or purpose of the business of such registered  limited
  liability  partnership. Where, at any time after completion of the first
  of the six weekly publications required by this subparagraph  and  prior
  to  the  completion  of  the  sixth  such weekly publication, there is a
  change in any of the information contained in  the  copy  or  notice  as
  published, the registered limited liability partnership may complete the
  remaining   publications  of  the  original  copy  or  notice,  and  the
  registered limited  liability  partnership  shall  not  be  required  to
  publish  any further or amended copy or notice. Where, at any time after
  completion of the six weekly publications required by this subparagraph,
  there is a change to any of the information contained  in  the  copy  or
  notice  as published, no further or amended publication or republication
  shall be required to be made. If within one hundred  twenty  days  after
  its  formation, proof of such publication, consisting of the certificate
  of publication of the registered limited liability partnership with  the
  affidavits of publication of the newspapers annexed thereto has not been
  filed  with  the  department  of state, the authority of such registered
  limited liability partnership to  carry  on,  conduct  or  transact  any
  business  in  this  state  shall  be  suspended,  effective  as  of  the

  expiration of such one hundred twenty  day  period.  The  failure  of  a
  registered limited liability partnership to cause such copy or notice to
  be  published  and  such  certificate  of  publication and affidavits of
  publication  to  be  filed  with the department of state within such one
  hundred twenty day period or the suspension of such  registered  limited
  liability  partnership's  authority  to  carry  on,  conduct or transact
  business in this state pursuant to this subparagraph shall not limit  or
  impair  the  validity  of any contract or act of such registered limited
  liability partnership, or any right or remedy of any other  party  under
  or by virtue of any contract, act or omission of such registered limited
  liability  partnership,  or the right of any other party to maintain any
  action or special proceeding on any such contract, act or  omission,  or
  right  of  such  registered  limited liability partnership to defend any
  action or special proceeding in this state, or result in any partner  or
  agent  of  such registered limited liability partnership becoming liable
  for the contractual obligations or other liabilities of  the  registered
  limited  liability partnership. If, at any time following the suspension
  of a registered limited liability partnership's authority to  carry  on,
  conduct   or   transact   business   in  this  state  pursuant  to  this
  subparagraph, such registered limited liability partnership shall  cause
  proof  of  publication  in  substantial  compliance  with the provisions
  (other than the one hundred twenty day  period)  of  this  subparagraph,
  consisting  of  the certificate of publication of the registered limited
  liability  partnership  with  the  affidavits  of  publication  of   the
  newspapers  annexed  thereto,  to be filed with the department of state,
  such suspension  of  such  registered  limited  liability  partnership's
  authority to carry on, conduct or transact business shall be annulled.
    (B)(1)  A  registered  limited  liability partnership which was formed
  prior to the effective date of this subparagraph and which complied with
  the publication and filing requirements of this paragraph as  in  effect
  prior  to  such  effective  date  shall  not  be  required  to  make any
  publication or republication or any filing  under  subparagraph  (A)  of
  this  paragraph, and shall not be subject to suspension pursuant to this
  paragraph.
    (2)  Within  twelve  months  after  the   effective   date   of   this
  subparagraph,  a  registered  limited  liability  partnership  which was
  formed prior to such effective date and which did not  comply  with  the
  publication and filing requirements of this paragraph as in effect prior
  to  such  effective  date  shall publish a copy of its registration or a
  notice containing the substance thereof in the  manner  required  (other
  than  the  one hundred twenty day period) by this paragraph as in effect
  prior to such  effective  date  and  file  proof  of  such  publication,
  consisting  of  the certificate of publication of the registered limited
  liability  partnership  with  the  affidavits  of  publication  of   the
  newspapers annexed thereto, with the department of state.
    (3)  If  a registered limited liability partnership that is subject to
  the provisions of clause two of this  subparagraph  fails  to  file  the
  required proof of publication with the department of state within twelve
  months  after  the effective date of this subparagraph, its authority to
  carry on, conduct or transact  any  business  in  this  state  shall  be
  suspended, effective as of the expiration of such twelve month period.
    (4)  The failure of a registered limited liability partnership that is
  subject to the provisions of clause two of this  subparagraph  to  fully
  comply  with the provisions of said clause two or the suspension of such
  registered  limited  liability  partnership's  authority  to  carry  on,
  conduct  or transact any business in this state pursuant to clause three
  of this subparagraph shall not impair  or  limit  the  validity  of  any
  contract or act of such registered limited liability partnership, or any

  right  or  remedy of any other party under or by virtue of any contract,
  act or omission of such registered limited liability partnership, or the
  right of any other party to maintain any action or special proceeding on
  any  such contract, act or omission, or right of such registered limited
  liability partnership to defend any action or special proceeding in this
  state, or result in any partner or  agent  of  such  registered  limited
  liability partnership becoming liable for the contractual obligations or
  other liabilities of the registered limited liability partnership.
    (5)  If,  at any time following the suspension of a registered limited
  liability partnership's authority  to  carry  on,  conduct  or  transact
  business  in  this state, pursuant to clause three of this subparagraph,
  such registered limited  liability  partnership  shall  cause  proof  of
  publication  in  substantial  compliance with the provisions (other than
  the  one  hundred  twenty  day  period)  of  subparagraph  (A)  of  this
  paragraph,   consisting   of  the  certificate  of  publication  of  the
  registered  limited  liability  partnership  with  the   affidavits   of
  publication  of  the  newspapers  annexed  thereto, to be filed with the
  department  of  state,  such  suspension  of  such  registered   limited
  liability  partnership's  authority  to  carry  on,  conduct or transact
  business shall be annulled.
    (6) For the  purposes  of  this  subparagraph,  a  registered  limited
  liability  partnership  which  was formed prior to the effective date of
  this subparagraph shall be deemed to have complied with the  publication
  and  filing  requirements  of  this paragraph as in effect prior to such
  effective date if (A) the registered limited liability  partnership  was
  formed on or after January first, nineteen hundred ninety-nine and prior
  to  such effective date and the registered limited liability partnership
  filed at least one affidavit of the printer or publisher of a  newspaper
  with  the  department of state at any time prior to such effective date,
  or (B) the registered limited liability partnership was formed prior  to
  January  first,  nineteen hundred ninety-nine, without regard to whether
  the registered limited liability partnership did or  did  not  file  any
  affidavit  of the printer or publisher of a newspaper with the secretary
  of state.
    (C) The information in a notice published pursuant to  this  paragraph
  shall  be  presumed  to  be  in  compliance with and satisfaction of the
  requirements of this paragraph.
    (b) The registration shall be executed by one or more partners of  the
  partnership without limited partners.
    (c)  The  registration  shall  be  accompanied by a fee of two hundred
  dollars.
    (d)  A  partnership  without  limited  partners  is  registered  as  a
  registered  limited  liability partnership at the time of the payment of
  the fee required by subdivision (c) of this section and the filing of  a
  completed  registration  with  the  department  of state or at the later
  date, if any, specified in such registration, not to exceed  sixty  days
  from  the  date  of  such filing. A partnership without limited partners
  that has been registered as a registered limited  liability  partnership
  is for all purposes the same entity that existed before the registration
  and  continues  to  be  a partnership without limited partners under the
  laws of this state. The status of a partnership without limited partners
  as a registered limited liability partnership shall not be  affected  by
  changes  in  the information stated in the registration after the filing
  of the registration. If a partnership without limited partners that is a
  registered  limited  liability  partnership  dissolves,  a   partnership
  without  limited  partners  which  is  the  successor to such registered
  limited liability partnership (i) shall not be required to  file  a  new
  registration and shall be deemed to have filed the registration filed by

  the registered limited liability partnership pursuant to subdivision (a)
  of  this  section,  as  well  as any withdrawal notice filed pursuant to
  subdivision (f) of this section, any statement or certificate of consent
  filed  pursuant to subdivision (g) of this section or any certificate of
  amendment filed pursuant to subdivision (j) of  this  section  and  (ii)
  shall be bound by any revocation of registration pursuant to subdivision
  (g)  of  this  section  and  any  annulment  thereof  of  the  dissolved
  partnership without limited  partners  that  was  a  registered  limited
  liability  partnership.  For  purposes  of  this  section, a partnership
  without limited partners is a successor to a partnership without limited
  partners that was  a  registered  limited  liability  partnership  if  a
  majority of the total interests in the current profits of such successor
  partnership  without  limited  partners  are  held  by  partners  of the
  predecessor partnership without limited partners that was  a  registered
  limited  liability  partnership  who  were  partners of such predecessor
  partnership immediately prior to the  dissolution  of  such  predecessor
  partnership.
    (e)  If  the  signed registration delivered to the department of state
  for filing complies as to form with the  requirements  of  law  and  the
  filing  fee  required  by  any  statute of this state has been paid, the
  registration shall be filed and indexed by the department of state.
    (f) A registration may be withdrawn by filing with the  department  of
  state  a  written  withdrawal notice executed by one or more partners of
  the registered limited liability partnership, with a filing fee of sixty
  dollars.  A  withdrawal  notice  must  include:  (i)  the  name  of  the
  registered  limited  liability  partnership  (and if it has been changed
  since registration, the name under which it was  registered);  (ii)  the
  date the registration was filed with the department of state pursuant to
  subdivision  (a)  of  this  section; (iii) the address of the registered
  limited liability partnership's principal office; (iv) if the withdrawal
  of the registered limited liability partnership is to be effective on  a
  date  later  than the time of filing, the date, not to exceed sixty days
  from the date of such filing, of  such  proposed  effectiveness;  (v)  a
  statement acknowledging that the withdrawal terminates the partnership's
  status as a registered limited liability partnership; and (vi) any other
  information  determined by the registered limited liability partnership.
  A withdrawal notice terminates  the  status  of  the  partnership  as  a
  registered  limited  liability  partnership as of the date of filing the
  notice or as of the later date, if any, specified in the notice, not  to
  exceed  sixty  days  from  the  date  of such filing. The termination of
  registration shall not be affected by errors in the  information  stated
  in  the withdrawal notice. If a registered limited liability partnership
  is dissolved, it shall within thirty days after the winding  up  of  its
  affairs   is  completed  file  a  withdrawal  notice  pursuant  to  this
  subdivision.
    (g) Each registered limited liability partnership shall, within  sixty
  days  prior  to  the  fifth  anniversary  of  the  effective date of its
  registration and every five years thereafter, furnish a statement to the
  department of state setting  forth:  (i)  the  name  of  the  registered
  limited  liability partnership, (ii) the address of the principal office
  of the registered limited liability partnership, (iii) the  post  office
  address  within  or  without  this state to which the secretary of state
  shall mail a copy of any process accepted against it served upon him  or
  her, which address shall supersede any previous address on file with the
  department  of  state  for this purpose, and (iv) a statement that it is
  eligible to register  as  a  registered  limited  liability  partnership
  pursuant  to  subdivision  (a)  of  this section. The statement shall be
  executed by one or more partners of  the  registered  limited  liability

  partnership.  The  statement  shall  be  accompanied  by a fee of twenty
  dollars. If a registered limited liability partnership shall not  timely
  file the statement required by this subdivision, the department of state
  may,  upon  sixty  days' notice mailed to the address of such registered
  limited liability partnership as  shown  in  the  last  registration  or
  statement  or  certificate of amendment filed by such registered limited
  liability partnership, make a proclamation declaring the registration of
  such registered limited liability partnership to be revoked pursuant  to
  this  subdivision.  The  department  of  state  shall  file the original
  proclamation in its office and shall publish a copy thereof in the state
  register  no  later  than  three  months  following  the  date  of  such
  proclamation.  Upon  the  publication of such proclamation in the manner
  aforesaid,  the  registration  of  each  registered  limited   liability
  partnership  named  in such proclamation shall be deemed revoked without
  further legal proceedings. Any registered limited liability  partnership
  whose  registration was so revoked may file in the department of state a
  certificate of consent certifying that either a  statement  required  by
  this  subdivision  has  been  filed  or  accompanies  the certificate of
  consent and all fees  imposed  under  this  chapter  on  the  registered
  limited  liability  partnership  have  been  paid.  The  filing  of such
  certificate of consent shall have the effect of  annulling  all  of  the
  proceedings  theretofore taken for the revocation of the registration of
  such registered limited liability partnership under this subdivision and
  (1) the registered limited liability partnership  shall  thereupon  have
  such powers, rights, duties and obligations as it had on the date of the
  publication  of  the  proclamation, with the same force and effect as if
  such  proclamation  had  not  been  made  or  published  and  (2)   such
  publication  shall  not  affect  the  applicability of the provisions of
  subdivision (b) of section twenty-six  of  this  chapter  to  any  debt,
  obligation  or  liability  incurred, created or assumed from the date of
  publication of the proclamation through the date of the  filing  of  the
  certificate  of consent. The filing of a certificate of consent shall be
  accompanied by a fee of fifty dollars and if accompanied by a statement,
  the fee required by this subdivision. If, after the publication of  such
  proclamation, it shall be determined by the department of state that the
  name  of  any  registered  limited liability partnership was erroneously
  included in such  proclamation,  the  department  of  state  shall  make
  appropriate  entry  on its records, which entry shall have the effect of
  annulling all of the proceedings theretofore taken for the revocation of
  the registration of such registered limited liability partnership  under
  this  subdivision  and (A) such registered limited liability partnership
  shall have such powers, rights, duties and obligations as it had on  the
  date  of  the  publication  of the proclamation, with the same force and
  effect as if such proclamation had not been made or  published  and  (B)
  such publication shall not affect the applicability of the provisions of
  subdivision  (b)  of  section  twenty-six  of  this chapter to any debt,
  obligation or liability incurred, created or assumed from  the  date  of
  publication  of  the  proclamation through the date of the making of the
  entry on the records of the department of state. Whenever  a  registered
  limited  liability partnership shall have filed a certificate of consent
  pursuant to this subdivision or if the  name  of  a  registered  limited
  liability  partnership  was  erroneously  included in a proclamation and
  such proclamation was annulled, the department of state shall publish  a
  notice thereof in the state register.
    (h)  The  filing  of  a  withdrawal  notice  by  a  registered limited
  liability partnership pursuant to subdivision (f)  of  this  section,  a
  revocation  of  registration pursuant to subdivision (g) of this section
  and the filing of a certificate of amendment pursuant to subdivision (j)

  of this section shall not affect the applicability of the provisions  of
  subdivision  (b)  of  section  twenty-six  of  this chapter to any debt,
  obligation  or  liability  incurred,  created  or  assumed   while   the
  partnership  was  a  registered  limited  liability partnership. After a
  withdrawal  or  revocation  of  registration,  the  partnership  without
  limited  partners  shall  for  all  purposes remain the same entity that
  existed during registration and continues to be  a  partnership  without
  limited partners under the laws of this state.
    (i)  The  department of state shall remove from its active records the
  registration  of  a  registered  limited  liability  partnership   whose
  registration has been withdrawn or revoked.
    (j)  A  registration  or  statement filed with the department of state
  under this section may be  amended  or  corrected  by  filing  with  the
  department  of  state a certificate of amendment executed by one or more
  partners of the registered limited liability partnership. No later  than
  ninety  days  after  (i)  a change in the name of the registered limited
  liability partnership or  (ii)  a  partner  of  the  registered  limited
  liability partnership becomes aware that any statement in a registration
  or  statement  was  false  in  any material respect when made or that an
  event has occurred which makes the registration or statement  inaccurate
  in  any  material  respect, the registered limited liability partnership
  shall file a certificate of amendment. The filing of  a  certificate  of
  amendment   shall  be  accompanied  by  a  fee  of  sixty  dollars.  The
  certificate of amendment shall set forth: (i) the name  of  the  limited
  liability  partnership and, if it has been changed, the name under which
  it was registered and (ii) the date of filing its  initial  registration
  or statement.
    (j-1)  A  certificate  of  change  which  changes only the post office
  address to which the secretary of state shall mail a copy of any process
  against a registered limited liability partnership served  upon  him  or
  the address of the registered agent, provided such address being changed
  is the address of a person, partnership or corporation whose address, as
  agent,  is  the  address  to  be  changed  or who has been designated as
  registered agent for such registered limited liability partnership shall
  be signed and delivered to the department of state by  such  agent.  The
  certificate  of  change  shall set forth: (i) the name of the registered
  limited liability partnership and, if it  has  been  changed,  the  name
  under  which  it was originally filed with the department of state; (ii)
  the date of filing of its  initial  registration  or  notice  statement;
  (iii)  each  change effected thereby; (iv) that a notice of the proposed
  change was mailed to the limited  liability  partnership  by  the  party
  signing  the  certificate not less than thirty days prior to the date of
  delivery to the department of state  and  that  such  limited  liability
  partnership has not objected thereto; and (v) that the party signing the
  certificate  is the agent of such limited liability partnership to whose
  address the secretary of state is required to mail copies of process  or
  the  registered  agent,  if  such  be the case. A certificate signed and
  delivered under this subdivision shall not be deemed to effect a  change
  of  location of the office of the limited liability partnership in whose
  behalf such certificate is filed. The certificate  of  change  shall  be
  accompanied by a fee of five dollars.
    (k)  The  filing of a certificate of amendment pursuant to subdivision
  (j) of this section with the department of state  shall  not  alter  the
  effective date of the registration being amended or corrected.
    (l)  Except  as  otherwise  provided  in  any  agreement  between  the
  partners, the decision of a  partnership  without  limited  partners  to
  file,  withdraw or amend a registration pursuant to subdivision (a), (f)
  or (j), respectively, of this section is an  ordinary  matter  connected

  with  partnership  business  under subdivision eight of section forty of
  this chapter.
    (m)   A   registered  limited  liability  partnership,  other  than  a
  registered limited liability partnership  authorized  to  practice  law,
  shall  be  under the supervision of the regents of the university of the
  state of New  York  and  be  subject  to  disciplinary  proceedings  and
  penalties  in the same manner and to the same extent as is provided with
  respect  to   individuals   and   their   licenses,   certificates   and
  registrations  in  title  eight  of  the  education  law relating to the
  applicable  profession.     Notwithstanding  the  provisions   of   this
  subdivision,  a  registered  limited liability partnership authorized to
  practice medicine shall be subject to  the  pre-hearing  procedures  and
  hearing procedures as are provided with respect to individual physicians
  and  their  licenses  in title two-A of article two of the public health
  law. In addition to rendering the professional service or  services  the
  partners  are authorized to practice in this state, a registered limited
  liability partnership may carry on, or conduct  or  transact  any  other
  business  or  activities  as  to  which  a  partnership  without limited
  partners may be formed. Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of  this
  section,  a  registered  limited liability partnership (i) authorized to
  practice law may only  engage  in  another  profession  or  business  or
  activities or (ii) which is engaged in a profession or other business or
  activities other than law may only engage in the practice of law, to the
  extent not prohibited by any other law of this state or any rule adopted
  by  the appropriate appellate division of the supreme court or the court
  of appeals. Any registered limited liability partnership may invest  its
  funds  in  real  estate,  mortgages, stocks, bonds or any other types of
  investments.
    (n)  No  registered  limited  liability  partnership  may   render   a
  professional  service  except  through  individuals authorized by law to
  render such professional service as individuals, provided, that  nothing
  in   this   chapter  shall  authorize  a  registered  limited  liability
  partnership to render  a  professional  service  in  this  state  except
  through  individuals  authorized  by  law  to  render  such professional
  service as individuals in this state.
    (o) This section shall not repeal, modify or restrict any provision of
  the education law or the judiciary  law  or  any  rules  or  regulations
  adopted  thereunder  regulating  the  professions  referred  to  in  the
  education law or the judiciary law except  to  the  extent  in  conflict
  herewith.
    (p)  A  certified  copy of the registration and of each certificate of
