State Laws Governing Partnerships

The majority of states have adopted the Revised Uniform Partnership Act, though some have retained the Uniform Partnership Act. Some states have modified certain provisions of their versions of the uniform acts, so researchers should be sure to check their states’ versions of the act to determine which provisions may differ from the uniform law. The only state that has not adopted the uniform law is Louisiana.
