HRS §39A-266
Tax exemption for state-owned project property
This section says that money the state department earns from a project is free from state, county, and city taxes. The department's ownership interest in the project is also tax-free. But the private party's interest is only tax-free to the same extent as if they had paid for the project themselves.

The statute, as written — Exemption from taxation of department property
All revenues derived by the department from any project or under the project agreement pertaining to it shall be exempt from all state, county, and municipal taxation. Any right, title, and interest of the department in any project shall also be exempt from all state, county, and municipal taxation. Except as otherwise provided by law, the interest of the project party or user of such project under the project agreement or related agreement shall not be exempt from taxation to a greater extent than it would be if the costs of the project were directly financed by the project party or other user.
