HRS §414-15
How to fix a mistake in a filed company document
A corporation can fix a document it filed with the state if the document has a wrong statement or was not signed or sealed properly. To fix it, the corporation prepares a correction form that describes the original document, explains the mistake, and shows the correction. The correction form is filed with the state and takes effect from the original filing date, except for people who relied on the old version.
The statute, as written — Correcting filed document
(a) A domestic or foreign corporation may correct a document filed by the department director if the document: (1) Contains an incorrect statement; or (2) Was defectively executed, attested, sealed, verified, or acknowledged. (b) A document is corrected by: (1) Preparing articles of correction that: (A) Describe the document (including its filing date) or attach a copy of it to the articles; (B) Specify the incorrect statement and the reason it is incorrect or the manner in which the execution was defective; and (C) Correct the incorrect statement or defective execution; and (2) Delivering the articles of correction to the department director for filing. (c) Articles of correction are effective on the effective date of the document they correct except as to persons relying on the uncorrected document and adversely affected by the correction. As to those persons, articles of correction are effective when filed.
