§ 1529. Business corporation law applicable.

Except for the provisions of sections thirteen hundred three, thirteen

hundred four, thirteen hundred sixteen, thirteen hundred seventeen and

thirteen hundred twenty, this chapter shall be applicable to a foreign

professional service corporation to the extent that the provisions

thereof are not in conflict with the provisions of this article. A

foreign professional service corporation may practice in this state, or

may consolidate or merge with another corporation, or may be a member of

a professional service limited liability company, a foreign professional

service limited liability company, a registered limited liability

partnership or foreign limited liability partnership, only if all of the

professions practiced by such corporations, limited liability companies

or limited liability partnerships could be practiced by a single

professional service corporation organized in this state; and, further,

only if such foreign professional service corporation is domiciled in a

state or territory of the United States the laws of which, at the time

of application by such corporation under section fifteen hundred thirty

of this article, contain a reciprocal provision under which professional

service corporations domiciled in this state may similarly apply for the

privilege of doing business in any such state or territory; provided

further however, that nothing herein shall authorize a foreign

professional service corporation practicing professional engineering,

land surveying, geology, architecture and/or landscape architecture to

be a member or partner of a professional service limited liability

company, a foreign professional service limited liability company, a

registered limited liability partnership or a foreign limited liability

partnership unless all of the shareholders, directors and officers of

such foreign professional service corporation are licensed to practice

one or more of such professions in this state.
