HRS §425-169

Canceling a filing when the payment check bounces

If a filing fee was paid with a check or other payment that the bank refused to honor, the director can cancel that filing. The document is returned and the filing party gets notice by regular mail. Even if the notice is not received, the cancellation still stands, and it does not undo any earlier filing.

The statute, as written — Revocation if instrument dishonored

The director may revoke the filing of a document filed under this subpart if the director determines that the filing fee for the document was paid by an instrument that was dishonored when presented by the State for payment. Documents revoked under this section shall be returned and notice of revocation shall be given to the filing party by regular mail. Failure to give or receive the notice shall not invalidate revocation under this section. Revocation of a filing under this section shall not affect an earlier filing.
