HRS §212-3
Governor must approve a public corporation's foreign-trade zone application
A public corporation can apply to the U.S. Foreign-Trade Zones Board to set up and run a foreign-trade zone at a port in Hawaii, but only if the governor has officially designated and approved it. This section just sets that approval requirement.
The statute, as written — Designation and approval of governor for application
Any public corporation which is duly designated and approved by the governor may make application to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board of the United States for the purpose of establishing, operating, and maintaining a foreign-trade zone in accordance with the Act of Congress in any port of entry in the State.
