California Code, Public Resources Code - PRC § 5723

(a) No grant funds authorized by this chapter shall be disbursed until the applicant agrees that any property acquired or developed with those funds shall be used by the applicant only for the purpose for which the funds were requested and that no other use of the property shall be permitted except by specific act of the Legislature.

(b) No funds shall be disbursed unless the applicant agrees to maintain and operate the property to be acquired or developed for a period commensurate with the type of project and the proportion of state funds and local matching funds or property allocated to the capital costs of the project.

(c) No funds shall be disbursed unless the applicant agrees to make the property to be acquired or developed open to use by the public by a date specified in the agreement. That date shall not be more than three years after the date upon which the project was approved by the department pursuant to Section 5721. The department may grant a postponement of the specified date if the property is not or will not be open to use by the public by the specified date due to circumstances wholly beyond the control of the applicant. If the property is not open to use by the public by the date specified in the agreement, and any postponement thereof granted by the department, the grant funds shall be restored in full to the department and the applicant shall become ineligible to receive any further funds that may become available pursuant to this chapter. Any funds restored pursuant to this section shall be deposited in the fund and shall be available for appropriation pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 5711.
