HRS §485A-105

How this law relates to federal electronic signature rules

This section explains how Hawaii's electronic records law fits with the federal E-SIGN Act. It changes some federal rules but keeps certain protections, like notices that must be in writing. It allows electronic filing only when this law or its rules say so.
