With the new law allowing husband/member & spouse/member LLC to now file a Sch C opposed to a Partnership in 2007, can I file a Sch C in 2007 for a husband/member & spouse/member LLC even though for the last 2 tax years we filed a Partnership for the LLC?

You can't do it if they are a two member LLC. Only single member LLCs can file a Schedule C. Two members, including H&W LLCs must file 1065 or elect to be taxed as a corporation.

TTB page 5-7..Sch C or Partnership
I read this over dozen times, being here in AZ, sounds to me like the husband member & wife member LLC who did not elect to be taxed as an s-corp. have the option to file a Sch C or partnership but it must be 2 Sch C's. Am I reading that correctly? If I am, then my question remains the same, can I file the 2 Sch C's even though the last 2 yrs (before the new law) they filed partnership returns?

TTB page 5-7 says:
Single-member LLC. A single-member LLC is not treated as a
separate entity for federal income tax purposes. A single-member
LLC owned by an individual files Schedule C (or Schedule E
or F, if applicable). Exception: A single-member LLC can elect to
be taxed as a corporation. See Check the Box Rules in Tab 18 of the
Deluxe Edition or Tab SB2 of the Small Business Edition.
