HRS §39A-253

You still must follow state and local laws

This section says that getting special purpose revenue bonds for a project does not excuse anyone from following state and local laws, like building codes, zoning rules, and permit requirements. Those laws apply just as if the project were paid for directly.

The statute, as written — Compliance with state and local law

The issuance of special purpose revenue bonds with respect to any project under this part shall not relieve any project party or other user of the project from the laws, ordinances, and rules of the State or any of its political subdivisions, or any departments or boards thereof, with respect to: the construction, operation, and maintenance of projects; compliance with education or zoning laws or regulations; obtaining of building permits; and compliance with building codes, health codes, and other laws, ordinances, or rules of a similar nature pertaining to the project. Such laws shall apply to the party or another user to the same extent that it would be if the costs of the project were directly financed by the project party.
