SENATE COMMERCE COMMITTEE
STATEMENT TO
SENATE, No. 3689
with committee amendments
STATE OF NEW JERSEY
DATED: FEBRUARY 10, 2025
The Senate Commerce Committee reports favorably and with
committee amendments Senate Bill No. 3689.
As amended, the New Jersey Business Corporation Act allows a
corporation to terminate an alternate name prior to the expiration
date of the five-year registration period. The New Jersey Revised
Uniform Limited Liability Company Act does not allow a limited
liability company to terminate an alternate name prior to the
expiration date of the five-year registration period. The difference
in treatment between corporations and limited liability companies is
rectified in this bill. The bill amends the New Jersey Revised
Uniform Limited Liability Company Act to allow a limited liability
company to terminate an alternate name prior to the expiration date
of the five-year registration period. The termination certificate to
be filed is to include, among other items, the name of the limited
liability company, the alternate name, and any other identifying
information for the filing office.
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS:
The committee amended the bill to authorize the filing office to
require other identifying information on an alternative name
termination certificate filed by a limited liability company.
