HRS §425-1.7

Correcting a filed partnership document

A general partnership can fix a document it already filed with the state if the document has wrong information or was signed or sealed incorrectly. To fix it, the partnership must file a statement of correction with the required details. The correction is treated as if it was in the original document, except for people who relied on the old version and were hurt by the change.
