HRS §414D-104

Members can approve actions by written consent without a meeting

Unless the articles or bylaws say otherwise, members can approve an action without holding a meeting if members with at least 80% of the voting power sign a written consent. The consent must describe the action and be delivered to the corporation. Members who did not sign must get written notice, and approval takes effect 10 days after that notice.

The statute, as written — Action by written consent

(a) Unless limited or prohibited by the articles or bylaws, action required or permitted by this chapter to be approved by the members at a meeting may be approved without a meeting of members if the action is approved by members holding at least eighty per cent of the voting power. The action must be evidenced by one or more written consents describing the action taken, signed by those members representing at least eighty per cent of the voting power, and delivered to the corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records. (b) If not otherwise determined under section 414D-103 or 414D-107, the record date for determining members entitled to take action without a meeting is the date the first member signs the consent under subsection (a). (c) A consent signed under this section has the effect of a meeting vote and may be described as such in any document filed with the director. (d) Written notice of member approval pursuant to this section shall be given to all members who have not signed the written consent. If written notice is required, member approval pursuant to this section shall be effective ten days after the written notice is given.
