History: P.A. 85-197 amended Subsec. (c) by replacing “perjury” with “false statement”; P.A. 86-379 amended Subsec. (a) by specifying that original certificates must be signed by all “general” partners and that amended certificates must be signed by new “general” partners rather than by those whose contribution has been increased; P.A. 93-363 added Subsec. (a)(4) requiring signature of at least one general partner on certificate of merger or consolidation affecting domestic limited partnership.

See Sec. 34-38b re inapplicability of provisions as amended by P.A. 86-379 to partnerships existing before October 1, 1986.
