Summary
Amends the Limited Liability Company Act. Provides that a member of a manager-managed company is held to specified standards of conduct to the extent that the member exercises the managerial authority vested in a manager under the Act (rather than applying such standards to a member who pursuant to the operating agreement exercises some or all of the authority of a manager in the management and conduct of the company's business).

What changed in the latest version
3 added · 19 removedPlain-language change summary
The amendment to SB 174 changes the criteria for how a member of a Limited Liability Company (LLC) is held to managerial standards. Originally, it described a member's accountability based on their authority as outlined in the operating agreement, but the updated language focuses on individual members' managerial authority as defined by the LLC Act itself. This shift simplifies the responsibilities and could make it easier for members to manage their LLCs without the complexities of their operating agreements dictating those standards. This matters because it could provide more clarity and reduce legal complications for LLC members in Illinois.
