(b) The division may establish by regulation a program to reduce the interest rate on the second and subsequent bulk fuel loans obtained by a borrower. In evaluating a potential interest rate reduction, the division shall consider the borrower’s repayment history and any other criteria that may be established by regulation. The division may by regulation reduce the interest rate on a bulk fuel loan made by the division by one percent for a borrower who has had at least one previous bulk fuel loan made by the division or by two percent for a borrower who has had two or more previous bulk fuel loans made by the division. The division shall make findings if an application for an interest rate reduction is denied.
(c) For the first time a borrower receives a bulk fuel bridge loan, the interest rate shall be zero percent. For all loans made after the first bulk fuel bridge loan to a borrower, the interest rate shall be set according to the procedure described in (a) of this section.
