ENTITLED, An Act to
provide for an exclusive remedy for judgment creditors of limited
partnerships.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA:
Section
1.
That
§
48-7-703
be amended to read as follows:
48-7-703.
On application to a court of competent jurisdiction by any judgment creditor of a
partner, the court may charge the partnership interest of the partner with payment of the unsatisfied
amount of the judgment with interest. To the extent so charged, the judgment creditor has only the
rights of an assignee of the partnership interest. This chapter does not deprive any partner of the
benefit of any exemption laws applicable to
his
the partner's
partnership interest.
This section provides the exclusive remedy that a judgment creditor of a general or limited
partner or of the general or limited partner's assignee may use to satisfy a judgment out of the
judgment debtor's interest in the partnership. No other remedy, including foreclosure on the general
or limited partner's partnership interest or a court order for directions, accounts, and inquiries that
the debtor, general or limited partner might have made, is available to the judgment creditor
attempting to satisfy the judgment out of the judgment debtor's interest in the limited partnership,
and no other remedy may be ordered by a court.
