HRS §414-282
When directors can change the charter without asking shareholders
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗This section lets a corporation's board of directors change the company's articles of incorporation on their own, without a shareholder vote, but only for certain limited reasons. These reasons include removing initial director names and addresses, or updating the registered agent or office if a change form is already filed. Other changes are only allowed if the law specifically permits them without shareholder approval.
