Kansas Statutes

Chapter 56a.—KANSAS UNIFORM PARTNERSHIP ACT

Revisor's Note:

The numbering system utilized in codification of this chapter incorporates the numbering system utilized by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws in preparing the Uniform Partnership Act (UPA) (1996). Within this chapter, the Kansas system utilized the UPA section number (those digits following the dash) as a part of the Kansas citation with the exception that UPA sections 1201, 1202, 1203, 1206 and 1207 have been codified at 56a-1301 to 56a-1305, respectively. For example, UPA Sec. 101 is codified at K.S.A. 56a-101. Therefore, any reference to UPA Sec. 101 may be relevant to K.S.A. 56a-101. Certain sections codified within this chapter are not a part of the UPA and will be designated by a Revisor's Note following the text thereof. For a general explanation of the Kansas numbering system, see the explanatory preface at the front of any hardbound volume of the Kansas Statutes Annotated.
