I absolutely concur with @Rick19744 in this respect; whether a zero interest member would be deemed to be a "member" for state law purposes is a separate inquiry from whether a zero interest member would be deemed to be a "member" for federal income tax purposes (the latter of which is sure to draw increased scrutiny).
