Terms Used In Hawaii Revised Statutes 39-151

  • Fiscal year: The fiscal year is the accounting period for the government. For the federal government, this begins on October 1 and ends on September 30. The fiscal year is designated by the calendar year in which it ends; for example, fiscal year 2006 begins on October 1, 2005 and ends on September 30, 2006.
(b) The moneys in the compound interest bond reserve fund shall be held exclusively for the payment of principal of and interest on compound interest bonds. The moneys shall be invested in such amounts and in a manner as will assure the availability to the State of moneys in an amount, together with other moneys available therefor, sufficient to make payments of principal of and interest on compound interest bonds as the same become due. The director of finance may invest and reinvest moneys deposited in the compound interest bond reserve fund only in a manner that will not cause the interest on any series of compound interest bonds to be includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes for any reason, including, without limitation, by causing any compound interest bond to be subjected to treatment as an “arbitrage bond”, as defined in section 148(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and applicable regulations.
