HRS §206E-286
How counties can sell or give land to the authority
A county can sell, lease, or give its land to the authority without an auction or public bidding, as long as the authority says it needs the land. The county council must hold a public hearing first, with notice published at least six days before. The deal can be for free or for payment, on terms the county and authority agree to.
