HRS §214-2
How state money is given to counties and what it can pay for
This section says state money given to counties can only be used for capital improvement projects that are part of the state's general plan and help the county's economy. The governor decides how much the state will pay and which projects qualify, based on the state's goals and the county's finances.

The statute, as written — Funds, allotment, and expenditure
Money allotted under this chapter by the State shall be available to the several counties; provided that no part of state or county moneys shall be expended for capital improvement projects that are not a part of the general plan of the State or that will not reasonably contribute to the economic development of the county. The determination of: (1) The extent of participation by the State; and (2) What capital improvement projects shall reasonably contribute to the economic development of a county, shall be made by the governor, taking into consideration the State's goal for specific segments of its general plan and the financial position of the county.
