(July 2, 2011, D.C. Law 18-378, § 2, 58 DCR 1720; Mar. 5, 2013, D.C. Law 19-210, § 2(b)(6), 59 DCR 13171.)

This section is referenced in § 29-201.02.

The 2013 amendment by D.C. Law 19-210 substituted “formation” for “organization” in (a)(1), (a)(2), and (a)(7); substituted “money” for “cash” in (a)(3) and substituted “record” for “document” in (a)(4) and (a)(5).

Section 2(b)(4)(B) of D.C. Law 19-210 purported to amend § 29-202.02(c). Because this section does not have a subsection (c), the amendment could not be implemented.

Application of Law 19-210: Section 7 of D.C. Law 19-210 provided that the act shall apply as of January 1, 2012.
