HRS §212-5
Governor can give public land to a public corporation for leasing
This section lets the governor set aside public lands for a public corporation. The corporation can then lease or rent the land directly, without a public auction, on terms it chooses. This applies only to land used for the purposes of this chapter.
The statute, as written — Setting aside public lands; lease, license, and permits
