HRS §206E-9
How counties can sell or lease land to the authority
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗A county can sell, lease, or give its real property to the authority without public auction or sealed bids, as long as the authority certifies it needs the land. The county must hold a public hearing with at least ten days' published notice before the transfer. The deal can be for free or for payment, on terms the county and authority agree to.
