HRS §414D-6
When a filed document takes effect
This section explains when a document filed with the state becomes effective. Usually it is effective on the filing date, either at the time of filing or at a time stated in the document. Certain documents, like articles of dissolution, can choose a later effective date, but not more than 30 days after filing.

The statute, as written — Effective time and date of document
(a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) and section 414D-7(c), a document is effective: (1) At the time of filing on the date it is filed, as evidenced by the department director's endorsement on the original document; or (2) At the time specified in the document as its effective time on the date it is filed. (b) Articles of dissolution, articles of conversion, and articles of merger may specify a delayed effective time and date, and if it does so the document becomes effective at the time and date specified. If a delayed effective date but no time is specified, the document is effective at the close of business on that date. A delayed effective date for a document may not be later than the thirtieth day after the date filed.
