HRS §636C-5
When a court must pause a foreign judgment
This section tells a Hawaii court when to pause enforcement of a judgment from another state. If the person who owes the money shows an appeal is happening or a stay was granted, the court must pause. The court can also pause for other reasons that would pause a Hawaii judgment, but may require security.

The statute, as written — Stay
(a) If the judgment debtor shows the court that an appeal from the foreign judgment is pending or will be taken, or that a stay of execution has been granted, the court shall stay enforcement of the foreign judgment until the appeal is concluded, the time for appeal expires, or the stay of execution expires or is vacated, upon proof that the judgment debtor has furnished the security for the satisfaction of the judgment required by the state in which it was rendered. (b) If the judgment debtor shows the court any ground upon which enforcement of a judgment of any court of this State would be stayed, the court shall stay enforcement of the foreign judgment for an appropriate period, upon requiring the same security for satisfaction of the judgment which is required in this State.
