HRS §39A-223

Bond issuance does not waive local laws

Getting special purpose revenue bonds for a project does not excuse anyone involved from following state and local laws. They still must obey rules about building, operating, maintaining, child care, zoning, permits, and health codes, just as if they paid for the project themselves.
