HRS §39A-265
Keeping bond interest tax-free under federal law
This section says the state will try to issue special purpose revenue bonds so their interest is tax-free under federal law, as much as possible. The finance director can make agreements and take other steps to meet federal tax rules. It also allows issuing bonds whose interest is taxable if needed.

The statute, as written — Federal tax-exempt status
To the extent practicable, special purpose revenue bonds issued pursuant to this part shall be issued to comply with requirements imposed by applicable federal law providing that the interest on the special purpose revenue bonds shall be excluded from gross income for federal income-tax purposes (except as certain minimum taxes or environmental taxes may apply). The director of finance may enter into agreements, establish funds or accounts, and take any action required to comply with applicable federal law. Nothing in this part shall be deemed to prohibit the issuance of special purpose revenue bonds, the interest on which may be included in gross income for federal income-tax purposes.
