N.M. Stat. § 54-2A-304
Right of limited partner and former limited partner to
information.
A. On ten days' demand, made in a record received by the limited partnership, a
limited partner may inspect and copy required information during regular business hours
in the limited partnership's designated office. The limited partner need not have any
particular purpose for seeking the information.
B. During regular business hours and at a reasonable location specified by the
limited partnership, a limited partner may obtain from the limited partnership and inspect
and copy true and full information regarding the state of the activities and financial
condition of the limited partnership and other information regarding the activities of the
limited partnership as is just and reasonable if:
(1)
the limited partner seeks the information for a purpose reasonably related
to the partner's interest as a limited partner;
(2)
the limited partner makes a demand in a record received by the limited
partnership, describing with reasonable particularity the information sought and the
purpose for seeking the information; and
(3)
the information sought is directly connected to the limited partner's
purpose.
C. Within ten days after receiving a demand pursuant to Subsection B of this
section, the limited partnership in a record shall inform the limited partner that made the
demand:
(1)
what information the limited partnership will provide in response to the
demand;
(2)
when and where the limited partnership will provide the information; and
(3)
if the limited partnership declines to provide any demanded information,
the limited partnership's reasons for declining.
D. Subject to Subsection F of this section, a person dissociated as a limited partner
may inspect and copy required information during regular business hours in the limited
partnership's designated office if:
(1)
the information pertains to the period during which the person was a
limited partner;
(2)
the person seeks the information in good faith; and
(3)
the person meets the requirements of Subsection B of this section.
E. The limited partnership shall respond to a demand made pursuant to Subsection
D of this section in the same manner as provided in Subsection C of this section.
F. If a limited partner dies, Section 704 [54-2A-704 NMSA 1978] of the Uniform
Revised Limited Partnership Act applies.
G. The limited partnership may impose reasonable restrictions on the use of
information obtained pursuant to this section. In a dispute concerning the
reasonableness of a restriction pursuant to this subsection, the limited partnership has
the burden of proving reasonableness.
H. A limited partnership may charge a person that makes a demand pursuant to this
section reasonable costs of copying, limited to the costs of labor and material.
I. Whenever the Uniform Revised Limited Partnership Act or a partnership
agreement provides for a limited partner to give or withhold consent to a matter, before
the consent is given or withheld, the limited partnership shall, without demand, provide
the limited partner with all information material to the limited partner's decision that the
limited partnership knows.
J. A limited partner or person dissociated as a limited partner may exercise the
rights pursuant to this section through an attorney or other agent. Any restriction
imposed pursuant to Subsection G of this section or by the partnership agreement
applies both to the attorney or other agent and to the limited partner or person
dissociated as a limited partner.
K. The rights stated in this section do not extend to a person as transferee, but may
be exercised by the legal representative of an individual under legal disability who is a
limited partner or person dissociated as a limited partner.
