HCC §32-67
When the county can skip steps to issue refunding bonds
Read the official text at hawaiicounty.gov ↗This section lets the county council issue refunding bonds without repeating the full approval process used for the original bonds, as long as the council decides it is wise for managing money or helps property owners or renters in the district. The other bond rules still apply where they fit.

Except as otherwise provided in this article, the council may issue refunding bonds without repeating any of the procedures required for the approval of the original bond issue, if the council determines that it would be prudent in the management of its fiscal affairs, or of benefit to property owners or lessees in the district, to issue the refunding bonds. The provisions of sections 32-57 through 32-64 shall apply to the refunding bonds to the extent such provisions may be made appropriately applicable. (1994, ord 94-77, sec 3.)32-67
