With the approval under this division of the board of education of the city, local, or exempted village school district within the territory of which the improvements are or will be located, the portion of the assessed valuation of the improvements exempted from taxation may exceed seventy-five per cent, but shall not exceed one hundred per cent. The governing body shall deliver to the board of education a notice stating its intent to declare improvements to be a public purpose under the agreement. The notice shall be delivered not later than forty-five days prior to execution of the agreement by the governing body, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays as defined in section 1.14 of the Revised Code. The notice shall describe the parcel and the improvements, provide an estimate of the true value in money of the improvements, specify the period for which the improvements would be exempted from taxation and the percentage of the assessed valuation of the improvement that would be exempted, and indicate the date on which the governing body intends to execute the agreement. The board of education, by resolution adopted by a majority of the board, may approve the exemption for the exemption percentage specified in the notice, may disapprove the exemption for the percentage of the assessed valuation of the improvements to be exempted in excess of seventy-five per cent, or may approve the exemption on the condition that the governing body and the board negotiate an agreement providing for compensation to the school district equal in value to a percentage of the taxes that would be payable on the portion of the assessed valuation of the improvements in excess of seventy-five per cent were that portion to be subject to taxation. The board of education shall certify its resolution to the governing body not later than fourteen days prior to the date the governing body intends to execute the agreement as indicated in the notice. If the board of education approves the exemption on the condition that a compensation agreement be negotiated, the board in its resolution shall propose a compensation percentage. If the board of education and the governing body negotiate a mutually acceptable compensation agreement, up to one hundred per cent of the assessed valuation of the improvements may be exempted from taxation. If the board and the governing body fail to negotiate a mutually acceptable compensation agreement, not more than seventy-five per cent of the assessed valuation of the improvements shall be exempted from taxation. If the board fails to certify a resolution to the governing body within the time prescribed by this division, up to one hundred per cent of the assessed valuation of the improvements may be exempted from taxation. The legislative authority may execute a financial agreement at any time after the board of education certifies its resolution approving the exemption to the legislative authority, or, if the board approves the financial agreement on the condition that a mutually acceptable compensation agreement be negotiated, at any time after the compensation agreement is agreed to by the board and the legislative authority. If a board of education has adopted a resolution waiving its right to approve exemptions from taxation granted pursuant to financial agreements and the resolution remains in effect, approval such exemptions by the board is not required under this division. If a board of education has adopted a resolution allowing a governing body to deliver the notice required under this division fewer than forty-five business days prior to the governing body's execution of the agreement, the governing body shall deliver the notice to the board not later than the number of days prior to such execution as prescribed by the board in its resolution. If a board of education adopts a resolution waiving its right to approve exemptions or shortening the notification period, the board shall certify a copy of the resolution to the governing body. If the board of education rescinds such a resolution, it shall certify notice of the rescission to the governing body. If the governing body is not required by this division to notify the board of education of the governing body's intent to execute a financial agreement exempting improvements from taxation, the governing body shall comply with the notice requirements imposed under section 5709.83 of the Revised Code, unless the board has adopted a resolution under that section waiving its right to receive such a notice. (B) Improvements shall be thus exempted from taxation for a period of not more than thirty years for one, two, or three family residential dwelling units and twenty years for all other uses of the improvements from the date of the execution of a financial agreement for the development or redevelopment of the property upon which the improvements are to be made pursuant to a financial agreement entered into with the municipal corporation in which said area is situated. Any such exemption shall be claimed and allowed in the same or a similar manner as in the case of other real property exemptions and no such claim shall be allowed unless the municipal corporation wherein said property is situated certifies that a financial agreement with a community urban redevelopment corporation for the development or the redevelopment of the property has been entered into and is in effect as required by Chapter 1728. of the Revised Code. In the event that an exemption status changes during a tax year, the procedure for the apportionment of the taxes for that year shall be the same as in the case of other changes in tax exemption status during the tax year.

The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not create, of itself, a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the association, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, a presumption that the person had reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct was unlawful. (B) An unincorporated nonprofit association may indemnify or agree to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the association to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a manager, officer, employee, member, agent, or volunteer of the association or a person acting in any other representative capacity, however denominated, or is or was serving at the request of the association as a director, officer, employee, member, manager, agent, or volunteer of any other entity, against expenses, including attorney's fees, actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of that action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the association, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any of the following: (1) Any claim, issue, or matter as to which the person is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of the person's duty to the unincorporated nonprofit association unless and only to the extent that the court of common pleas or the court in which the action or suit was brought determines, upon application, that despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses that the court of common pleas or that other court considers proper; (2) Any action or suit in which liability is asserted against a manager and that liability is asserted only pursuant to section 1745.56 of the Revised Code. (C) To the extent that a manager, officer, employee, member, agent, or volunteer of the association or a person acting in any other representative capacity, however denominated, has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in division (A) or (B) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter in the action, suit, or proceeding, that person shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorney's fees, actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with that action, suit, or proceeding. (D)(1) Unless ordered by a court and subject to division (C) of this section, any indemnification under division (A) or (B) of this section shall be made by the unincorporated nonprofit association only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the manager, officer, employee, member, agent, or volunteer of the association or the person acting in any other representative capacity, however denominated, is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in division (A) or (B) of this section. That determination shall be made in any of the following manners: (a) By a majority vote of a quorum consisting of managers of the indemnifying unincorporated nonprofit association who were not and are not parties to or threatened with the action, suit, or proceeding referred to in division (A) or (B) of this section; (b) Whether or not a quorum as described in division (D)(1)(a) of this section is obtainable, and if a majority of a quorum of disinterested managers so directs, in a written opinion by independent legal counsel other than an attorney, or a firm having associated with an attorney, who has been retained by or has performed services for the association or any person to be indemnified within the past five years; (c) By the members; (d) By the court of common pleas or the court in which the action, suit, or proceeding referred to in division (A) or (B) of this section was brought. (2) If an action or suit by or in the right of the unincorporated nonprofit association is involved, any determination made by the disinterested managers under division (D)(1)(a) of this section or by independent legal counsel under division (D)(1)(b) of this section shall be communicated promptly to the person who threatened or brought the action or suit under division (B) of this section, and, within ten days after receipt of that notification, the person shall have the right to petition the court of common pleas or the court in which the action or suit was brought to review the reasonableness of that determination. (E)(1)(a) Unless at the time of a manager's or volunteer's act or omission that is the subject of an action, suit, or proceeding referred to in division (A) or (B) of this section the governing principles of the unincorporated nonprofit association stated, by specific reference to division (E)(1)(a) of this section, that its provisions do not apply to the association, unless the only liability asserted against a manager in an action, suit, or proceeding referred to in division (A) or (B) of this section is pursuant to section 1745.56 of the Revised Code, or unless division (E)(1)(b) of this section applies, the expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred by the manager or volunteer in defending the action, suit, or proceeding shall be paid by the unincorporated nonprofit association. Upon the request of the manager or volunteer and in accordance with division (E)(2) of this section, those expenses shall be paid as they are incurred, in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding. (b) Notwithstanding division (E)(1)(a) of this section, the expenses incurred by a manager or volunteer in defending an action, suit, or proceeding referred to in division (A) or (B) of this section, including attorney's fees, shall not be paid by the unincorporated nonprofit association upon the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding, or, if paid in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding, shall be repaid to the association by the manager or volunteer, if it is proved, by clear and convincing evidence, in a court with jurisdiction that the act or omission of the manager or volunteer was one undertaken with a deliberate intent to cause injury to the association or was one undertaken with a reckless disregard for the best interests of the association. (2) Expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred by a manager, officer, employee, member, agent, or volunteer of the association or a person acting in any other representative capacity, however denominated, in defending any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in division (A) or (B) of this section may be paid by the unincorporated nonprofit association as they are incurred, in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding, as authorized by the managers in the specific case, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the manager, officer, employee, member, agent, volunteer, or person acting in any other representative capacity to repay the amount if it ultimately is determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by the association. (F) The indemnification authorized by this section is not exclusive of, and shall be in addition to, any other rights granted to those seeking indemnification pursuant to the governing principles, any agreement, a vote of the members or disinterested managers, or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacities and as to action in another capacity while holding their offices or positions, shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a manager, officer, employee, member, agent, or volunteer of the association or a person acting in any other representative capacity, however denominated, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of that person. (G) An unincorporated nonprofit association may purchase and maintain insurance, or furnish similar protection, including, but not limited to, trust funds, letters of credit, or self-insurance, for or on behalf of any person who is or was a manager, officer, employee, member, agent, or volunteer of the association or a person acting in any other representative capacity, however denominated, or is or was serving at the request of the association as a director, manager, officer, employee, member, agent, or volunteer of any other entity, against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person in that capacity, or arising out of the person's status as such, whether or not the association would have the power to indemnify the person against that liability under this section. Insurance may be so purchased from or so maintained with a person in which the association has a financial interest. (H) The authority of an unincorporated nonprofit association to indemnify persons pursuant to division (A) or (B) of this section does not limit the payment of expenses as they are incurred, in advance of the final disposition of an action, suit, or proceeding, pursuant to division (E) of this section or the payment of indemnification, insurance, or other protection that may be provided pursuant to division (F) or (G) of this section. Divisions (A) and (B) of this section do not create any obligation to repay or return payments made by the association pursuant to division (E), (F), or (G) of this section. (I) As used in this section, "unincorporated nonprofit association" includes all constituent entities in a consolidation or merger, and the new or surviving entity, so that any person who is or was a manager, officer, employee, member, agent, or volunteer of a constituent entity or a person acting in any other representative capacity, however denominated, or is or was serving at the request of a constituent entity as a director, officer, employee, member, manager, agent, or volunteer of any other entity, shall stand in the same position under this section with respect to the new or surviving entity as the person would if the person had served the new or surviving entity in the same capacity.

Status: in_force

April 12, 2021 Senate Bill 276 - 133rd General Assembly (A) Unless either a written operating agreement for the limited liability company or a written agreement with a member establishes additional fiduciary duties, in the event that there have been designated one or more managers to supervise or manage the activities or affairs of the limited liability company, the only obligation a member owes, in the member's capacity as a member, to the limited liability company and the other members is to discharge the member's duties and obligations under this chapter and the operating agreement in accordance with division (E) of this section. Divisions (C) and (D) of this section shall not apply to such a member. (B) Unless either a written operating agreement for the limited liability company or a written agreement with a member establishes additional fiduciary duties or the duties of the member have been modified, waived, or eliminated as contemplated by section 1706.08 of the Revised Code, in the event that there have not been designated one or more managers to supervise or manage the activities of the limited liability company, the only fiduciary duties a member owes to the limited liability company and the other members is the duty of loyalty and the duty of care set forth in divisions (C) and (D) of this section. (C) A member's duty of loyalty to the limited liability company and the other members is limited to the following: (1) To account to the limited liability company and hold for it any property, profit, or benefit derived by the member in the conduct and winding up of the limited liability company business or derived from a use by the member of limited liability company property or from the appropriation of a limited liability company opportunity; (2) To refrain from dealing with the limited liability company in the conduct or winding up of the limited liability company business as or on behalf of a party having an interest adverse to the limited liability company. (D) A member's duty of care to the limited liability company and the other members in the conduct and winding up of the limited liability company business is limited to refraining from engaging in grossly negligent or reckless conduct, intentional misconduct, or a knowing violation of law. (E) A member shall discharge the member's duties to the limited liability company and the other members under this chapter and under the operating agreement and exercise any rights consistent with the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. (F) A member does not violate a duty or obligation under this chapter or under the operating agreement merely because the member's conduct furthers the member's own interest. (G) All the members of a limited liability company may authorize or ratify, after full disclosure of all material facts, a specific act or transaction that otherwise would violate the duty of loyalty. It is a defense to a claim under division (C)(2) of this section and any comparable claim in equity or at common law that the transaction was fair to the limited liability company. If, as permitted, by this division or the limited liability company's operating agreement, a member enters into a transaction with a limited liability company that otherwise would be prohibited by division (C)(2) of this section, the member's rights and obligations arising from the transaction are the same as those of a person that is not a member. (H) This section applies to a person winding up the limited liability company business as the personal or legal representative of the last surviving member as if the person were a member.

§ 1733.24. Deposits; shares and accounts; withdrawals
Status: in_force

October 3, 2023 House Bill 33 - 135th General Assembly (A) A credit union is authorized to receive funds for deposit in share accounts, share draft accounts, and share certificates from its members, from other credit unions, and from an officer, employee, or agent of the federal, state, or local governments, or political subdivisions of the state, in accordance with such terms, rates, and conditions as may be established by its board of directors, and for purposes of the linked deposit programs created under sections 135.61 to 135.66 of the Revised Code and sections 135.70 to 135.71 of the Revised Code. (B) The shares and share accounts of the credit union may be of one or more classes, as designated by the board of directors, subject to approval of the superintendent of credit unions based on rules that shall assure equitable distribution of dividends among classes, considering costs and advantages of each class to the members of the credit union, including without limitation special services rendered, length of ownership, minimum investment, conditions of repurchase, and other appropriate standards or combinations thereof. In the event the articles of incorporation of the credit union indicate the authorized number of shares to be unlimited, the designation of classification of shares and share accounts of the credit union may be effected by the board of directors, subject to the approval of the superintendent, and does not require amendment of the articles of incorporation. All shares of the credit union shall have a par value per share as set by the board of directors. Redemptions and liquidating dividends shall be prorated to each member on the basis of the price paid the credit union for such share, irrespective of the class of such shares. (C)(1) Each credit union shall have one class of shares designated as "membership share." The membership shares, or if a credit union has but one class of shares, then all of the shares of the credit union, shall have a par value as set by the board of directors. (2) Two or more persons that are eligible for membership that have jointly subscribed for one or more shares under a joint account each may be admitted to membership. (D) A credit union need not issue certificates for any or all of its classes of shares but irrespective of whether certificates are issued, a registry of shares must be kept, including all of the transactions of the credit union pertaining to such shares. (E) A credit union is authorized to maintain share draft accounts in accordance with rules prescribed by the superintendent. The credit union may pay dividends on share draft accounts, may pay dividends at different rates on different types of share draft accounts, and may permit the owners of such share draft accounts to make withdrawals by negotiable or transferable instruments or other orders for the purpose of making transfers to third parties. (F) Unless otherwise provided by written agreement of the parties, the rights, responsibilities, and liabilities attaching to a share draft withdrawn from, transferred to, or otherwise handled by a credit union are defined in and governed by Chapters 1303. and 1304. of the Revised Code, as if the credit union were a bank. (G) Unless otherwise provided in the articles or regulations, a member may designate any person or persons to own or hold shares, or share accounts with the member in joint tenancy with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common. (H) Shares or share accounts may be issued in the name of a custodian under the Ohio transfers to minors act, a member in trust for a beneficiary, a fiduciary or custodian in trust for a member beneficiary, or a fiduciary or custodian in trust upon the death of a member. Redemption of such shares or payment of such share accounts to a member, to the extent of the payment, discharges the liability of the credit union to the member and the beneficiary, and the credit union shall be under no obligation to see to the application of the payment. Unless prior to the death of a member, the member has notified the credit union in writing in a form approved by the credit union of a different beneficiary to receive the proceeds of such shares or share accounts, then the proceeds shall be paid to the beneficiary or to the beneficiary's parent or legal representative. Any payment made pursuant to written instructions of the member or pursuant to the provisions herein contained shall be a valid and sufficient release and discharge of the credit union in connection with any such share or share accounts. (I)(1) Except as otherwise provided in the articles or regulations, and subject to the provisions thereof, a minor may purchase shares, share accounts, or other depository instruments, and except for qualification as a voting member, the credit union may deal with the minor with respect to shares, share accounts, or other depository instruments owned by the minor as if the minor were a person of legal age. (2) If shares, share accounts, or other depository instruments are issued in the name of a minor, redemption of any part or all of the shares or withdrawal of funds by payment to the minor of the shares or funds and any declared dividends or interest releases the credit union from all obligation to the minor as to the shares reduced or funds withdrawn. (J) The regulations may require advance written notice of a member's intention to withdraw the member's shares. Such advance notice shall not exceed sixty days. (K) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, funds deposited in a share account, share certificate, or in any other manner pursuant to a program offered by a credit union to promote consumer savings do not constitute valuable consideration for purposes of a scheme of chance under Chapter 2915. of the Revised Code.

(B) In the case of a company action level event, the health insuring corporation shall prepare and submit to the superintendent an RBC plan that shall do all of the following: (1) Identify the conditions that contributed to the company action level event; (2) Contain proposals of corrective actions that the health insuring corporation intends to take to eliminate the conditions contributing to the company action level event; (3) Provide projections of the health insuring corporation's financial results in the current year and at least the two succeeding years, both in the absence of the proposed corrective actions and giving effect to the proposed corrective actions. The projections shall include projections of statutory balance sheets, operating income, net income, capital, surplus, and RBC levels. Projections for both new and renewal business may include separate projections for each major line of business, and may separately identify each significant income, expense, and benefit component of the projection. (4) Identify the key assumptions impacting the health insuring corporation's projections made pursuant to division (B)(3) of this section, and describe the sensitivity of the projections to the assumptions; (5) Identify the quality of, and problems associated with, the health insuring corporation's business, including, but not limited to, its assets, anticipated business growth and associated surplus strain, extraordinary exposure to risk, mix of business, and the use of reinsurance, if any, in each case. (C) The RBC plan shall be submitted within forty-five days after a company action level event. However, if a health insuring corporation has challenged an adjusted RBC report pursuant to section 1753.37 of the Revised Code, an RBC plan need not be submitted unless the superintendent rejects the challenge following the hearing required under section 1753.37 of the Revised Code. If the superintendent rejects the health insuring corporation's challenge, the RBC plan shall be submitted within forty-five days after the superintendent's notification to the health insuring corporation of the superintendent's rejection of the challenge. (D)(1) Within sixty days after a health insuring corporation submits an RBC plan to the superintendent, the superintendent shall either require the health insuring corporation to implement the RBC plan or notify the health insuring corporation that the RBC plan is unsatisfactory in the judgment of the superintendent. If the superintendent has determined that the RBC plan is unsatisfactory, the notification to the health insuring corporation shall set forth the reasons for the determination, and may set forth proposed revisions that will render the RBC plan satisfactory in the judgment of the superintendent. Upon its receipt of such notification from the superintendent, the health insuring corporation shall prepare and submit a revised RBC plan, which may incorporate by reference any revisions proposed by the superintendent. (2) If a health insuring corporation challenges, under section 1753.37 of the Revised Code, a notification by the superintendent that the health insuring corporation's RBC plan or a revised RBC plan is unsatisfactory, submission of a revised RBC plan need not be made unless the superintendent rejects the health insuring corporation's challenge and notifies the health insuring corporation of this rejection. A health insuring corporation shall submit a revised RBC plan to the superintendent within forty-five days after receiving notification from the superintendent that its RBC plan is unsatisfactory, or that its challenge to a notification made under division (D)(1) of this section has been rejected, as applicable. (E) Notwithstanding division (D) of this section, if the superintendent notifies a health insuring corporation that its RBC plan or revised RBC plan is unsatisfactory, the superintendent may, at the superintendent's discretion but subject to the health insuring corporation's right to a hearing under section 1753.37 of the Revised Code, specify in the notification that the notification constitutes a regulatory action level event.

Status: in_force

May 22, 2012 House Bill 267 - 129th General Assembly (A) Except when the law or the governing principles require that action be otherwise authorized or taken, all of the authority of an unincorporated nonprofit association shall be exercised by or under the direction of its manager or managers. (B) The only fiduciary duties a manager owes to the association are the duties set forth in this division. The duties of a manager are to act in good faith, in a manner the manager reasonably believes to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the unincorporated nonprofit association, and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a similar position would use under similar circumstances. A manager serving on a committee of managers is acting as a manager. (C) In performing the duties of a manager, a manager is entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, that are prepared or presented by any of the following: (1) One or more managers, officers, or employees of the association who the manager reasonably believes are reliable and competent in the matters prepared or presented; (2) Counsel, public accountants, or other persons as to matters that the manager reasonably believes are within the person's professional or expert competence; (3) A committee of the managers in which the manager does not serve, duly established in accordance with a provision of the governing principles as to matters within its designated authority, which committee the manager reasonably believes to merit confidence. (D) For purposes of division (B) of this section, the following apply: (1) A manager shall not be found to have failed to perform the manager's duties in accordance with that division, unless it is proved by clear and convincing evidence in an action brought against the manager that the manager has not acted in good faith, in a manner the manager reasonably believes to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the unincorporated nonprofit association, or with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a similar position would use under similar circumstances. An action under division (D)(1) of this section includes, but is not limited to, an action that involves or affects any of the following: (a) A change or potential change in control of the association; (b) A termination or potential termination of the manager's service to the association as manager; (c) The manager's service in any other position or relationship with the association. (2) A manager shall not be considered to be acting in good faith if the manager has knowledge concerning the matter in question that would cause reliance on information, opinions, reports, or statements that are prepared or presented by any of the persons described in divisions (C)(1) to (3) of this section, to be unwarranted. (3) The provisions of division (D) of this section do not limit relief available under section 1745.42 of the Revised Code. (E)(1) Subject to divisions (E)(2) and (3) of this section, a manager is liable in damages for any act that the manager takes or fails to take as manager only if it is proved, by clear and convincing evidence, in a court with jurisdiction that the act or omission of the manager was one undertaken with a deliberate intent to cause injury to the association or was one undertaken with a reckless disregard for the best interests of the association. (2) Division (E)(1) of this section does not affect the liability of a manager under section 1745.56 of the Revised Code. (3) Subject to division (E)(2) of this section, division (E)(1) of this section does not apply if, and only to the extent that, at the time of an act or omission of a manager that is the subject of the complaint, the governing principles of the association state by specific reference to division (E)(1) of this section that its provisions do not apply to the association. (F) For purposes of this section, in determining what a manager reasonably believes to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the association, a manager shall consider the purposes of the association and may consider any of the following: (1) The interests of the employees, suppliers, creditors, and customers of the association; (2) The economy of this state and of the nation; (3) Community and societal considerations; (4) The long-term and short-term best interests of the association, including, but not limited to, the possibility that those interests may be best served by the continued independence of the association. (G) Divisions (E) and (F) of this section do not affect the duties of a manager who acts in any capacity other than in the capacity as a manager.

August 6, 2008 House Bill 332 - 127th General Assembly (A)(1) A partnership may file a statement of partnership authority. Any statement filed pursuant to this section shall include all of the following: (a) The name of the partnership; (b) The street address of the partnership's chief executive office and that of one office in this state, if an office exists in this state; (c) The names and mailing addresses of all of the partners or of an information agent the partnership appoints and maintains for the purpose of division (B) of this section; (d) The name and address of the agent for service of process and the signed acceptance of appointment, as section 1776.07 of the Revised Code requires. (2) Any statement filed pursuant to this section may state the names of the partners authorized to execute an instrument transferring real property held in the name of the partnership, the authority, including any limitations, that some or all of the partners have to enter into other transactions on behalf of the partnership, and any other matter. (B) If a filed statement of partnership authority names an agent, that agent shall maintain a list of the names and mailing addresses of all of the partners and make the list available to any person on request for good cause shown. (C) If a filed statement of partnership authority is executed pursuant to division (C) of section 1776.05 of the Revised Code and states the name of the partnership but does not contain all of the other information division (A) of this section requires, that statement shall operate as provided in divisions (D) and (E) of this section with respect to a person not a partner. (D) Except as otherwise provided in division (G) of this section, a filed statement of partnership authority supplements the authority of a partner to enter into transactions on behalf of the partnership as follows: (1) Except for transfers of real property, a grant of authority contained in a filed statement of partnership authority is conclusive in favor of any person who gives value without knowledge to the contrary, so long as, and to the extent that, another filed statement does not contain a limitation on that authority. A filed cancellation of a limitation on authority revives the previous grant of authority. (2) A grant of authority to transfer real property held in the name of the partnership that is contained in a certified copy of a filed statement of partnership authority recorded in the office of a county recorder, is conclusive as to real property in the county where the statement is recorded, in favor of a person who gives value without knowledge to the contrary, so long as, and to the extent that, a certified copy of a filed statement containing a limitation on that authority is not of record in the same office. Recording a certified copy of a filed cancellation of a limitation on authority in the office of a county recorder revives the previous grant of authority filed in that office. (E) A person not a partner is deemed to know of a limitation of a partner's authority to transfer real property held in the name of the partnership if a certified copy of the filed statement containing the limitation on authority is of record in the office for recording transfers of that real property. (F) Except as otherwise provided in divisions (D) and (E) of this section and sections 1776.57 and 1776.65 of the Revised Code, a person not a partner is not deemed to know of a limitation on the authority of a partner merely because the limitation is contained in a filed statement. (G) Unless earlier canceled, a filed statement of partnership authority is canceled by operation of law five years after the date on which the statement, or the most recent amendment, is filed with the secretary of state.

(B) If the bylaws provide for election of directors by the members in a district or other grouping, then the petition for removal of a director must be signed by twenty per cent of the members residing in the district or belonging to the group from which the director was elected. The board shall then call a special meeting of the members residing in that district or belonging to the group to consider and vote upon the removal of the director; and at such meeting, by a vote of the majority of the members of that district or belonging to the group, the director in question shall be removed from office.

§ 1701.58. Removal of directors and filling vacancies
Status: in_force

September 30, 2008 House Bill 374 - 127th General Assembly (A) The office of a director becomes vacant if the director dies or resigns. A resignation shall take effect immediately or at such other time as the director may specify. (B) The directors may remove any director and thereby create a vacancy in the board: (1) If by order of court the director has been found to be of unsound mind, or if the director is adjudicated a bankrupt; (2) If within sixty days, or within any other period of time as is prescribed in the articles or the regulations, from the date of the director's election the director does not qualify by accepting in writing the director's election to that office or by acting at a meeting of the directors, and by acquiring the qualifications specified in the articles or the regulations; or if, for such period as is prescribed in the articles or the regulations, the director ceases to hold the required qualifications. (C) Except as otherwise provided in this division, if the shareholders have the right to vote cumulatively in the election of directors, then, unless the articles, the regulations adopted by the shareholders, or the regulations adopted by the directors pursuant to division (A)(1) of section 1701.10 of the Revised Code expressly provide that no director may be removed from office or that removal of directors requires a greater vote than that specified in this division, all the directors, all the directors of a particular class, or any individual director may be removed from office, without assigning any cause, by the vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power entitling them to elect directors in place of those to be removed, except that, unless all the directors, or all the directors of a particular class, are removed, no individual director shall be removed if the votes of a sufficient number of shares are cast against the director's removal that, if cumulatively voted at an election of all the directors, or all the directors of a particular class, as the case may be, would be sufficient to elect at least one director. In the case of an issuing public corporation whose directors are classified pursuant to section 1701.57 of the Revised Code, the shareholders may effect a removal under this division only for cause. (D) If the shareholders do not have the right to vote cumulatively in the election of directors, then, unless the articles, the regulations adopted by the shareholders, or the regulations adopted by the directors pursuant to division (A)(1) of section 1701.10 of the Revised Code expressly provide that no director may be removed from office or that removal of directors requires a greater vote than that specified in this division, all the directors, all the directors of a particular class, or any individual director may be removed from office, without assigning any cause, by the vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power entitling them to elect directors in place of those to be removed; except that in the case of an issuing public corporation whose directors are classified pursuant to section 1701.57 of the Revised Code, the shareholders may effect that removal only for cause. (E) In case of any removal pursuant to division (C) or (D) of this section, a new director may be elected at the same meeting for the unexpired term of each director removed. Failure to elect a director to fill the unexpired term of any director removed is deemed to create a vacancy in the board. (F) Unless the articles or the regulations otherwise provide, the remaining directors, though less than a majority of the whole authorized number of directors, may, by the vote of a majority of their number, fill any vacancy in the board for the unexpired term. Under this section, a vacancy exists if the shareholders increase the authorized number of directors but fail at the meeting at which such increase is authorized, or an adjournment of that meeting, to elect the additional directors provided for, or if the shareholders fail at any time to elect the whole authorized number of directors.

However, if the principal place of business of an association is not within this state, then the complaint described in this division shall be filed in the court of common pleas of the county in which the association's statutory agent resides. Other affected stockholders who have made timely demand for payment of fair cash value may join as plaintiffs in the proceeding, and any two or more proceedings commenced by affected stockholders may be consolidated. The complaint shall contain a brief statement of the relevant facts, including the vote by members of the association, the facts entitling the stockholder to relief under this section, and a demand for that relief. Notwithstanding the Rules of Civil Procedure, no answer to a complaint filed under this section is required. (B) Upon filing the complaint and upon motion of the complainant, the court shall fix a date for hearing on the complaint and require service of a notice of the complaint and the date for hearing on the defendant in the manner prescribed in the Rules of Civil Procedure for service of process. (C) On the date fixed for the hearing or any adjournment thereof, the court shall determine from the complaint and any evidence submitted at the hearing by the parties, whether the affected stockholder is entitled to the fair cash value of stock that is the subject of the demand and, if the stockholder is to be so paid, the number and class of stock for which payment is to be made. (D) If the court finds that the affected stockholder is to be paid, it may appoint one or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence as to the fair cash value. The appraisers shall have the power and authority that the court specifies in the order of appointment, and the court shall fix reasonable compensation for the appraisers. After receiving the recommendation of any appointed appraiser, or if appraisers are not appointed, the court shall make findings as to the fair cash value and render judgment for the payment of that fair cash value and interest at the rate and from the date the court considers equitable. The costs of the proceeding, including compensation of the appointed appraisers as fixed by the court, shall be assessed as the court considers equitable. (E) The proceeding on the complaint for fair cash value is a special proceeding, and final orders in it may be vacated, modified, or reversed on appeal pursuant to the Rules of Appellate Procedure and, to the extent not in conflict with those rules, Chapter 2505. of the Revised Code.
