The department may distribute any part of loan proceeds, proceeds from lines of credit, proceeds from credit guarantees, and grants received under this section to an operator as permitted by the terms of the loan, line of credit, credit guarantee, or grant. The department, the authority, or an operator, as required by a public-private agreement, shall repay any loan, line of credit, credit guarantee, or grant from a federal, state, or local agency, if a repayment is necessary to free the department from restrictions that the department determines to be in the public interest to remove.
