§ 20304. Effective date and applicability
(2) The following provisions of Title 15 and as much of the act as may be necessary to make those provisions operative shall take effect immediately and shall be retroactive to January 27, 1987, insofar as relates to the implementation of 42 Pa.C.S. Ch. 83 Subch. F (relating to corporate directors' liability): 15 Pa.C.S. § 1102(b) (relating to coordination with other laws), 15 Pa.C.S. § 1310(a) (relating to organization meeting), 15 Pa.C.S. § 1504(c) (relating to bylaw provisions in articles), 15 Pa.C.S. § 1757(a) (relating to action by shareholders), 15 Pa.C.S. § 1762(c) (relating to controlled shares) and 15 Pa.C.S. § 1766 (relating to consent of shareholders in lieu of meeting).
(4) Section 138 (relating to statement of correction) of Title 15 shall take effect immediately and shall be retroactive to January 1, 1980, insofar as relates to filings under the Business Corporation Law of 1933. With respect to matters covered by this paragraph, the one-year period of the last sentence of 15 Pa.C.S. § 138(c) shall run from the later of the date of enactment of this act or the date upon which such filing was or is made by or with respect to a corporation subject to the Business Corporation Law of 1933.
(5) Section 302(e), insofar as it repeals 59 Pa.C.S. Ch. 5 (relating to limited partnerships), and section 103, insofar as it enacts 15 Pa.C.S. § 8502(a) (relating to applicability of chapter to existing limited partnerships), shall take effect 90 days after the Governor publishes a proclamation in the Pennsylvania Bulletin1 stating that the Governor has found that the United States Internal Revenue Service has determined that 15 Pa.C.S. Ch. 85 (relating to limited partnerships) corresponds to the Uniform Limited Partnership Act for purposes of 26 C.F.R. § 301.7701-2. The Governor shall issue such a proclamation upon being furnished with a copy of a ruling by the Internal Revenue Service to that effect. Delay in the repeal of 59 Pa.C.S. Ch. 5 and enactment of 15 Pa.C.S. § 8502(a) shall not postpone the effective date of 15 Pa.C.S. Ch. 85, and pending repeal of 59 Pa.C.S. Ch. 5, persons may utilize either statute at their election, which shall be expressed in the partnership agreement, for the government and regulation of the affairs of the limited partnership. A partnership agreement that fails to identify expressly the statute applicable to the partnership shall be deemed to contain an election to be governed by 59 Pa.C.S. Ch. 5. On the effective date of the repeal of 59 Pa.C.S. Ch. 5, any partnership then governed by that chapter shall thereafter be governed by 15 Pa.C.S. Ch. 85.
