The remainder of the "county of Maui fuel tax" shall be paid by the department into the state treasury, and shall, by the state director of finance, be paid over to the director of finance of the county of Maui for deposit into the fund known as the "highway fund" created by section 249-18.
Each of the foregoing taxes shall be expended for the following purposes, for the island for which the tax revenue is specially indicated, or, if none, for the county for which the tax revenue is indicated:
(1) For payment of interest on and redemption of any
bonds duly issued or sold on or after July 1, 1951, under chapter 47 for the

the fund[.];
(2) For acquisition, designing, construction,

improvement, repair, and maintenance of bikeways[.];
(8) In the case of the county of Hawaii fuel tax, funds may be expended in a manner consistent with paragraph (2) for the maintenance of substandard private subdivision roads that are used by the public; provided that upon the sale of any portion of the private subdivision to an entity other than the State or the county of Hawaii, neither the State nor the county shall be required to install infrastructure for the roads in that portion of the private subdivision; and
[(8)] (9) No expenditure shall be made[,]
out of the revenues paid into any [such] fund[, which] that
will jeopardize federal aid for highway construction."
