Senate Committee: Financial Services
House Committee: Commerce
ADDENDUM TO SENATE FISCAL AGENCY ANALYSIS OF SB 206 DATED 4-16-01:
HOUSE COMMITTEE ACTION:
The House Commerce Committee removed Section 489 from the bill. This leaves Section 489 in the Business Corporation Act, but leaves it without amendments. A representative of the State Bar of Michigan testified that a special panel of the Michigan Court of Appeals will be addressing the issues raised by a recent court decision affecting Section 489, which deals with willfully unfair and oppressive conduct against shareholders by those in control of a corporation.
POSITIONS:
A representative of the Business Law Section of the State Bar of Michigan testified in support of the bill before the House Commerce Committee. (5-22-01)
