HRS §48E-4
Before a county can start a pollution control project
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗A county cannot start a pollution control project or sign a project agreement unless the county's governing body first decides that the project party is responsible, or that someone else guarantees or insures the party's obligations. This section only sets that condition.
