Read the official text at hawaiicounty.gov ↗

This section explains how a publisher can get a permit to use a space in a newspaper rack. The authorized association handles applications and may charge a fee. A permit is only given if the publication actually exists, and the association cannot reject based on content.

The authorized association shall determine with the approval of the director, the form of, and provide to interested persons copies of, the publication dispensing rack space permit application form. BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS § 35-63 (b) The authorized association may establish by rules approved by director a permit fee to be charged by the authorized association for each publication dispensing rack space.
