1. Agreement. A student commencing professional education between September 1, 1971 and June 30, 1981, as a condition of receiving a loan, shall enter into an agreement with the State that the student, after the completion of an internship, residency, obligated public health service or Armed Forces' service, shall enter in the practice of osteopathic medicine in this State and continue in that practice for a period of one year for each $2,000 of the loan utilized.
[PL 1985, c. 797, §48 (AMD).]
2. Initial interest. The loan shall be granted to the applicant with no interest or principal payments until one year after he or she has ended his or her attendance at that osteopathic college or university.
[PL 1983, c. 806, §89 (AMD).]
3. Breach of contract. If a recipient of a loan fails to comply with the terms of the agreement with the State for reasons other than death, the recipient shall immediately be liable to the State for all loan payments received plus interest on each payment at the rate of 6% each year compounded semiannually.
[PL 1981, c. 693, §§ 5, 8 (NEW).]
