(a) No state grant funds authorized under Section 5096.231 may be disbursed until the applicant agrees that any property acquired, developed, rehabilitated, or restored with the funds shall be used by the applicant only for the purpose for which the funds were requested and that no other use, sale, or other disposition of the property shall be permitted except by specific act of the Legislature. If the use of the property is changed to one other than permitted under the category in subdivision (a) of Section 5096.231 from which the funds were appropriated, or the property is sold or otherwise disposed of, an amount equal to the amount of the grant or equal to the fair market value of the real property, or portion thereof, acquired, developed, rehabilitated, or restored with the grant, whichever is greater, shall be used by the city, county, or district for a purpose authorized in that category or shall be reimbursed to the fund for a use authorized in that category.
(b) No state grant funds authorized under Section 5096.231 may be disbursed unless the applicant agrees to maintain and operate the property acquired, developed, rehabilitated, or restored pursuant to this article for a period commensurate with the type of project and the proportion of state grant funds and local funds allocated to the capital costs of the project.
