Sec. 762.62  Information.

    (a) Any petty offense may be prosecuted by a written information 
signed by the attorney charged with prosecuting the case. If, however, 
the offense is one for which issue of a citation is authorized by this 
part and a citation for the offense has been issued, the citation serves 
as the information. Offenses against the laws of the United States, 
offenses committed against the laws made applicable by the Act of June 
15, 1950 (chapter 253, 64 Stat. 217), and offenses adopted under 
Sec. 762.16, except those which are subject, under title 37, ``Hawaii 
Revised Statutes,'' as it now appears or as it may be amended or 
recodified, to a penalty of imprisonment for six months or less or a 
fine of not more than $500, or both, shall be referred to the United 
States Attorney, Hawaii, for appropriate disposition.

    (b) A copy of the information shall be delivered to the accused or 
his counsel as soon as practicable after it is filed.
    (c) Each count of an information may charge one offense only and 
must be particularized sufficiently to identify the place, the time, and 
the subject matter of the alleged offense. It shall refer to the 
provision of law under which the offense is charged, but any error in 
this reference or its omission may be corrected by leave of court at any 
time before sentence and is not grounds for reversal of a conviction if 
the error or omission did not mislead the accused to his prejudice.
