HRS §710-1060
What counts as perjury and its punishment
Perjury is lying under oath in an official proceeding when you know the statement is false. A court must decide the lie is important enough. It is a serious crime, a class C felony.

The statute, as written — Perjury
(1) A person commits the offense of perjury if in any official proceeding the person makes, under an oath required or authorized by law, a false statement which the person does not believe to be true. (2) No person shall be convicted under this section unless the court rules that the false statement is a "materially false statement" as defined by section [710-1000]. It is not a defense that the declarant mistakenly believed the false statement to be immaterial. (3) Perjury is a class C felony.
