48-248-403. Disqualification of members.

If any member of a PLLC becomes disqualified to render those professional services for which it was formed within the state, such member shall be deemed to have resigned and wrongfully withdrawn from the PLLC and shall have no further interests as a member in the PLLC other than the right to receive any distribution to which such member may be entitled under the articles or an operating agreement or § 48-216-101(d). If any member, manager, agent or employee of a PLLC organized under this chapter who has been rendering professional service to the public becomes legally disqualified to render those professional services within this state, that member, manager, agent or employee shall immediately sever all professional employment and professional relationships with, and financial interests in, that PLLC. A PLLC's failure to require compliance with this provision shall constitute a ground for the forfeiture of its articles and its dissolution by the secretary of state or, in the case of a foreign professional PLLC, for the revocation of its certificate of authority in this state.
