HRS §47-32

Using sinking fund money to pay off bonds

The finance director must use money set aside in a sinking fund to pay off bonds when the bond agreements say to. If bonds are being paid off early, the director must give notice as the agreements require. If bondholders don't come forward by the redemption date, the money stays set aside for them until they do.
