HB 2508 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Allows for a search of the series LLC in the SoS Business Entity website and to obtain a certificate of good standing

HB 2508 amends Missouri law to require that each "series" within a limited liability company (LLC) be individually searchable and profiled on the Secretary of State's business entity website, similar to standard LLCs. This allows the public to search for specific series and obtain a certificate of good standing for them, improving transparency. The bill applies directly to LLCs operating with multiple series - common in real estate or investment ventures - where each series has separate assets and liabilities. To qualify, LLCs must identify each series in their articles of organization and maintain distinct records for each, ensuring the series structure is legally recognized and accessible.

MODERATE

The bill was amended to broaden its scope from only limited liability companies to all entities regulated by the Secretary of State. Additionally, the requirements for filing affidavits regarding unoccupied real property were significantly narrowed, now applying only to properties in large counties with specific, unresolved ordinance violations rather than a wide range of cities and counties.

Scope change

The bill's applicability was expanded from limited liability companies to all entities regulated by the Secretary of State, and the repeal list was updated to include section 347.143.

SCOPE

The bill now applies to all entities regulated by the Secretary of State instead of just limited liability companies.

REQUIREMENT

The requirement to file an affidavit for unoccupied real property was restricted to properties in counties with over one million inhabitants that have specific, unresolved ordinance violations, removing previous requirements for various cities and counties.

The affidavit requirement for cities was removed entirely, leaving only the county-based requirement for large counties with specific violation conditions.

DEFINITION

The list of repealed statutes was updated to include section 347.143, reflecting the expanded scope of the bill.
