(a) A foreign limited partnership whose name does not comply with § 4-47-108 may not obtain a certificate of authority until it adopts, for the purpose of transacting business in this State, an alternate name that complies with § 4-47-108. A foreign limited partnership that adopts an alternate name under this subsection and then obtains a certificate of authority with the name need not comply with § 4-32-108. After obtaining a certificate of authority with an alternate name, a foreign limited partnership shall transact business in this State under the name unless the foreign limited partnership is authorized under § 4-32-108 to transact business in this State under another name.
(b) If a foreign limited partnership authorized to transact business in this State changes its name to one that does not comply with § 4-47-108, it may not thereafter transact business in this State until it complies with subsection (a) and obtains an amended certificate of authority.
