(b) If a person is dissociated as a partner:

(1) The person’s right to participate in the management and conduct of the partnership’s business terminates, except as otherwise provided in § 7-12.1-802(c); and

(2) The person’s duties and obligations under § 7-12.1-409 end with regard to matters arising and events occurring after the person’s dissociation, except to the extent the partner participates in winding up the partnership’s business pursuant to § 7-12.1-802.

(c) A person’s dissociation does not of itself discharge the person from any debt, obligation, or other liability to the partnership or the other partners which the person incurred while a partner.
