HRS §425E-406

General partners' management rights and duties

Each general partner has an equal say in running the limited partnership, and most decisions are made by a majority of general partners. However, certain major actions need every general partner's approval. The partnership must pay back general partners for certain expenses and loans, but general partners do not get paid for their services.

The statute, as written — Management rights of general partners

(a) Each general partner has equal rights in the management and conduct of the limited partnership's activities. Except as expressly provided in this chapter, any matter relating to the activities of the limited partnership may be exclusively decided by the general partner or, if there is more than one general partner, by a majority of the general partners. (b) The consent of each general partner shall be necessary to: (1) Amend the partnership agreement; (2) Amend the certificate of limited partnership to add or, subject to section 425E-1110, delete a statement that the limited partnership is a limited liability limited partnership; and (3) Sell, lease, exchange, or otherwise dispose of all, or substantially all, of the limited partnership's property, with or without the goodwill, other than in the usual and regular course of the limited partnership's activities. (c) A limited partnership shall reimburse a general partner for payments made and indemnify a general partner for liabilities incurred by the general partner in the ordinary course of the activities of the partnership or for the preservation of its activities or property. (d) A limited partnership shall reimburse a general partner for an advance to the limited partnership beyond the amount of capital the general partner agreed to contribute. (e) A payment or advance made by a general partner that gives rise to an obligation of the limited partnership under subsection (c) or (d) constitutes a loan to the limited partnership which accrues interest from the date of the payment or advance. (f) A general partner shall not be entitled to remuneration for services performed for the partnership.
