  • (1)  A partnership agreement may specify that its amendment requires the approval of a person that is not a party to the agreement or the satisfaction of a condition. An amendment is ineffective if its adoption does not include the required approval or satisfy the specified condition.
    (2)  The obligations of a partnership and its partners to a person in the person's capacity as a transferee or person dissociated as a partner are governed by the partnership agreement.

    (b) The amendment is not effective to the extent the amendment does any of the following:
    1. Imposes a new debt, obligation, or other liability on the transferee or person dissociated as a partner.
    2. Prejudices the rights under s. 178.0701 of a person that dissociated as a partner before the amendment was made.

    (4)  Subject to sub. (3) , if a record delivered by a partnership to the department for filing becomes effective and conflicts with a provision of the partnership agreement, all of the following apply:
    (a) The agreement prevails as to partners, persons dissociated as partners, and transferees.
