As part of the agreement, the eligible business shall agree to collect and provide any information reasonably required by the authority in order to allow the board to fulfill its reporting obligation under section 15.534.

(2) (b) An eligible business shall fulfill all the requirements of the program and the agreement before the authority issues the business a tax credit certificate or enters into a subsequent agreement with the business under this section.
