I think the speculation is that the information they print is the information that was provided, either by the hospital or by the parents. The "date filed" vs. "date accepted" distinguishes whether the document was accepted from the hospital at birth or was filed by the parents within one year of birth.
I could be wrong about the interpretation (maybe they just changed the language on the form blank), but there are two nomenclatures on the document images that I've seen.

There's nothing in Hawaii state law or in any documentation put out by the DOH that attaches any significance to the difference.
It appears that some offices use a blank form with "date accepted" and others with "date filed," as there are multiple examples of COLB's on the internet of both. There's nothing to indicate it's anything more than that.
