      (P.A. 93-267, S. 25; P.A. 94-217, S. 13.)

      History: P.A. 94-217 amended Subsec. (a) to replace "Unless otherwise provided in writing in an operating agreement, a limited liability company shall keep at its principal place of business the following" with "A limited liability company shall keep at its principal place of business, or at such other location as may be stated in the operating agreement, the following" and deleted Subdiv. (5) re a writing setting forth the contributions of cash, property and services by each member and Subdiv. (6) re a writing stating events, if any, upon the happening of which the limited liability company is to be dissolved and its affairs wound up, renumbering the remaining Subdiv. accordingly, and added new Subsec. (b) to authorize a limited liability company to keep a writing setting forth the contributions of cash, property and services by each member similar to the provisions of former Subsec. (a)(5) except that the keeping of the writing is discretionary, rather than mandatory, and "any such writings on file shall constitute presumptive evidence as to the value of the member contributions described therein", relettering the remaining Subsecs. accordingly.
