      specifying the requirements that must be met to confirm eligibility
      pursuant to this part.  The department shall consult with the
      community during negotiations relating to the agreement.  The
      agreement shall contain, at a minimum, the following provisions:
         1.  A business that is approved to receive incentives shall, for
      the length of the agreement, certify annually to the department the
      compliance of the business with the requirements of the agreement.
      If the business receives a local property tax exemption, the business
      shall also certify annually to the community the compliance of the
      business with the requirements of the agreement.
         2.  The repayment of incentives by the business if the business
      does not meet any of the requirements of this part or the resulting
      agreement.
         3.  If a business that is approved to receive incentives under
      this part experiences a layoff within the state or closes any of its
      facilities within the state, the department shall have the discretion
      to reduce or eliminate some or all of the incentives.  If a business
      has received incentives under this part and experiences a layoff
      within the state or closes any of its facilities within the state,
      the business may be subject to repayment of all or a portion of the
      incentives that it has received.
         4.  A project completion date, a maintenance period completion
      date, the number of jobs to be created or retained, or certain other
      terms and obligations described in section 15G.112, subsection 1,
      paragraph "d", as the department deems necessary in order to make
      the requirements in project agreements uniform.  The department, with
      the approval of the board, may adopt rules as necessary for making
      such requirements uniform.  Such rules shall be in compliance with
      the provisions of this part and with the provisions of chapter 15G.
