A multi member operating agreement allows for the owners, or ‘Members’, of an LLC to make an understanding with one another about the ownership interest, monies invested, and set the bylaws of the company. In Hawaii, an operating agreement is not required by law but is legally binding if it is to be filled-in and authorized.

State Definition
