The statute, as written — Rulemaking authority

(a) The department shall adopt rules relating to the implementation of the program and any other rules necessary to accomplish the purposes of this chapter. The rules may: (1) Provide for criteria under which a certain line of credit issued by an eligible financial institution to a small or medium-sized business or nonprofit organization qualifies to participate in the program; and (2) Authorize a consortium of financial institutions to participate in the program subject to common underwriting guidelines. (b) To qualify for participation in the program, a line of credit shall: (1) Be an account at a financial institution under which the financial institution agrees to lend money to a person from time to time to finance one or more projects, activities, or enterprises that are authorized by this chapter; and (2) Contain the same restrictions, to the extent possible, that are placed on a capital access loan that is not a line of credit.
