HRS §425-167

How to fix a mistake in a filed partnership document

A domestic or foreign limited liability partnership can fix a document filed with the director if it has a wrong statement or was not signed or sealed properly. To fix it, the partnership must file a statement of correction that explains the problem and the fix. The correction works from the original filing date, except for people who relied on the old version and were hurt by the change.

The statute, as written — Correction of filed documents

(a) A domestic limited liability partnership or foreign limited liability partnership may correct a document filed with the 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 preparing and delivering to the director for filing, a statement of correction that: (1) Identifies the document, including its filing date, or attaches a copy of it to the statement; (2) Identifies the incorrect statement, if any; (3) Explains why the incorrect statement, if any, is incorrect, or describes the manner in which execution of the document was defective; and (4) Corrects the incorrect statement or defective execution. (c) A certificate of correction is effective retroactive to the effective date of the document corrected except as to persons relying on the uncorrected document and adversely affected by the correction, as to which persons, a certificate of correction is effective from the time of filing.
