(a) A certificate of limited partnership is amended by filing a certificate of amendment thereto in the office of the Secretary of State. The certificate shall set forth: (1) the name of the limited partnership; (2) the date of filing the certificate; and (3) the amendment to the certificate. (b) Within thirty days after the happening of any of the following events, an amendment to a certificate of limited partnership reflecting the occurrence of the event or events shall be filed: (1) the admission of a new general partner; (2) the withdrawal of a general partner; or (3) the continuation of the business under SECTION 33-42-1410 after an event of withdrawal of a general partner. (c) A general partner who becomes aware that any statement in a certificate of limited partnership was false when made or that any arrangements or other facts described have changed, making the certificate inaccurate in any respect, shall promptly amend the certificate. (d) A certificate of limited partnership may be amended at any time for any other proper purpose the general partners determine. (e) No person has any liability because an amendment to a certificate of limited partnership has not been filed to reflect the occurrence of any event referred to in subsection (b) of this section if the amendment is filed within the thirty-day period specified in subsection (b). (f) A restated certificate of limited partnership may be executed and filed in the same manner as a certificate of amendment. (g)(1) Each limited partnership formed before June 27, 1984, shall file no later than January 1, 1988, a certificate of amendment pursuant to this chapter causing such limited partnership to comply with the requirements of SECTION 33-42-30 respecting the name of the limited partnership, SECTION 33-42-50(1) respecting the office of the limited partnership at which certain records are to be kept, and SECTION 33-42-50(2) respecting the agent for service of process on the limited partnership. However, a limited partnership formed before June 27, 1984, is required to file the certificate of amendment only to the extent it does not fully comply with SECTIONS 33-42-30 and 33-42-50 on or before January 1, 1988. The certificate of amendment is considered effective under this chapter upon its execution by a general partner of the limited partnership and its filing in the office of the Secretary of State. (2) The failure of any limited partnership formed before June 27, 1984, to comply with subsection (g)(1) shall result on January 1, 1988, in, but only to, the extent of the failure: (i) the designation of the principal place of business of the limited partnership as specified in the limited partnership's certificate of limited partnership on that date as the office of partnership at which certain records are to be kept for purposes of SECTION 33-42-50(1); (ii) the designation of the Secretary of State as the agent for service of process on such limited partnership for purposes of SECTION 33-42-50(2); and (iii) the limited partnership being prohibited from filing any other certificate of amendment unless it satisfies the requirements of subsection (g)(1). (3) The failure of any limited partnership formed before June 27, 1984, to file the certificate of amendment required by subsection (g)(1) does not: (i) impair the validity of any contract or act of the limited partnership; (ii) prevent the limited partnership from maintaining or defending any action, suit, or proceeding in any court in this State; or (iii) result in any limited partner becoming liable as a general partner solely by reason of the failure of the limited partnership to file the required certificate of amendment.
