HRS §425E-905

Name rules for out-of-state limited partnerships

This section says an out-of-state limited partnership must use a name that follows Hawaii's naming rules. If its real name doesn't fit, it must register a trade name and use that here. If it later changes to a noncompliant name, it must stop doing business here until it fixes that.

The statute, as written — Name

(a) A foreign limited partnership whose name does not comply with sections 425E-108(d) and (e) may not obtain a certificate of authority until it adopts, for the purpose of transacting business in this State, an alternate name that complies with section 425E-108, by filing a copy of a certificate of registration of a trade name with the director. After obtaining a certificate of authority with an alternate name, a foreign limited partnership shall transact business in this State under that name unless the foreign limited partnership is authorized to transact business in this State under another name. (b) If a foreign limited partnership authorized to transact business in this State changes its name to one that does not comply with sections 425E-108(d) and (e), it shall not thereafter transact business in this State until it complies with subsection (a).
