2007 House Bill 5356

House Roll Call 582: Passed

To define "professional service" in the state business corporations act as “a type of personal service that requires a license or other legal authorization,” and "services in a learned profession" as services rendered by a dentist, osteopathic physician, physician, surgeon, doctor of divinity or other clergy, or attorney-at-law. This resolves issues arising from a recent court case, Miller v Allstate Insurance Company. The bill also prescribes various procedures related to shareholders and assumed business names for firms converting to a corporation from some other business form, or vice-versa.
