Hawaii Revised Statutes Division 2. Business § 414-470

(a) Each corporation shall keep accurate and complete books and records of account and shall keep and maintain at its principal office, or other place as its board of directors may order, minutes of the proceedings of its shareholders and board of directors. The books and records of account shall include accounts of the corporation's assets, liabilities, receipts, disbursements, gains, and losses. The minutes of the proceedings of the shareholders and board of directors of the corporation shall show, as to each meeting of the shareholders or the board of directors, the time and place, if any, thereof, whether regular or special, whether notice thereof was given, and if so in what manner, the names of those present at directors' meetings, the number of shares present or represented at shareholders' meetings, and the proceedings at each meeting. Any of the books and records described in this subsection may be kept on, or by means of, or be in the form of, any information storage device or method; provided that the books and records can be converted into clearly legible paper form within a reasonable time. Upon the request of any person entitled to inspect the books and records pursuant to any provision of this chapter, a corporation, at its own expense, shall convert the requested stored books and records. When books and records are kept pursuant to this subsection, a clearly legible paper form produced from or by means of the information storage device or method shall be admissible as evidence, and accepted for all other purposes, to the same extent as an original paper record of the same information would have been; provided that the paper form accurately portrays the record.

(b) In every corporation incorporated under this chapter, the board of directors of the corporation shall cause a book to be kept for registering the names of all persons who are or shall become shareholders of the corporation, showing the number of shares of stock held by them respectively, and the time when they respectively became the owner of the shares. The book shall be open at all reasonable times for the inspection of the shareholders. The secretary or the person having the charge thereof shall give a certified transcript of anything therein contained to any shareholder applying therefor; provided that the shareholder pays a reasonable charge for the preparation of the certified transcript. The transcript shall be legal evidence of the facts therein set forth in any suit by or against the corporation.
