Section 53-19-33 - Right of assignee to become a memberA. Except as otherwise provided in the articles of organization or an operating agreement, an assignee may become a member only if the other members unanimously consent. Such consent shall be evidenced in the manner specified in the articles of organization or an operating agreement; however, in the absence of such specification, such consent shall be evidenced by an instrument, dated and signed by the other members.B. An assignee who becomes a member has the rights and powers, and is subject to the restrictions and liabilities of a member under the articles of organization, any operating agreement and the Limited Liability Company Act. An assignee who becomes a member shall not be liable for the obligations of his assignor under that act to make contributions and to return distributions, except to the extent that the assignor and assignee agree that the assignee is so liable. The assignee shall not, however, be obligated as a result of his agreement with his assignor for liabilities of which the assignee had no knowledge at the time the assignee became a member and which could not be ascertained from the articles of organization or an operating agreement.C. Whether or not an assignee becomes a member, the assignor is not released from his liability pursuant to Section 21 [53-19-21 NMSA 1978] of the Limited Liability Company Act to make contributions to the limited liability company unless all members consent in writing to such a release.D. A member who assigns his entire interest in the limited liability company ceases to be a member or to have the power to exercise any rights of a member when any assignee of his interest becomes a member as provided in Subsection A of this section.Laws 1993, ch. 280, § 33.
