COMMENT

Note to Georgia Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act A domestic or foreign limited partnership existing prior to July 1, 1988 may preserve the availability of its name by filing a one-year name reservation prior to July 1, 1988. A limited partnership that does not do so is subject to Section 14-9-102, particularly including the rule that its name be distinguishable from a limited partnership that has already filed, as by having to add distinguishing notations under Section 14-9-102(b)(2).
