Revised Code of Washington - RCW Title 25 Partnerships - Section 25.10.670 Application to existing partnerships

§ 25.10.670. Application to existing partnerships

(1) Except as provided in subsections (1) and (2) of this section, the provisions of this title shall apply to all existing limited partnerships formed after June 6, 1945, under any prior statute of this state providing for the formation of limited partnerships, except to the extent provisions of this title are inconsistent with provisions of the certificate or partnership agreement of such existing limited partnerships, which partnership provisions were applicable to such limited partnerships as of January 1, 1982, and which partnership provisions would have been valid under any such applicable prior statutes. Insofar as the provisions of this title are substantially the same as statutory provisions repealed by this title and relate to the same subject matter, such provisions shall be construed as restatements and continuations, and not as new enactments. Neither the enactment of this title nor the amendment of this title nor the repeal of the prior title shall take away or impair any liability or cause of action existing or accrued by or against any limited partnership or its partners.

(2) On or before September 30, 1982, each county clerk shall transmit all files, records, indexes, and other documents maintained in the county clerk's office, pursuant to prior statutes requiring limited partnership filings at the office of county clerk, to the office of the secretary of state.

(3) Upon receipt of the limited partnership records from the county clerks, the secretary of state shall thereafter treat such county filings as a filing with the secretary of state. The secretary of state shall establish by September 30, 1982, a filing and record system for integration of the records received from the county clerks and to accomplish the purposes of this chapter relating to centralized filing.
