HRS §212-7

Giving the U.S. money or guarantees for a foreign-trade zone

If a public corporation is allowed to run a foreign-trade zone, it can also give the U.S. government the money or guarantees it asks for, as long as the money is available. This section only gives that extra power.

The statute, as written — Powers; indemnity or assurance to the United States and deposits with United States

If authorized to establish, operate, and maintain a foreign-trade zone, a public corporation may, in addition to its other powers: (1) Provide for such indemnity or assurance to the United States or its agencies as they may request; [and] (2) Deposit such sums of money with the United States as the United States or its agencies may request, providing the money is available therefor by direct appropriation or otherwise.
