The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(c) The grant award authorized by Section 8899.21 and funded pursuant to this article is not a gift of public funds, but rather a collaborative project between the state and the grant award recipient to commercialize technologies that will predict earthquakes or mitigate their impact for the purpose of protecting the health and welfare of the citizens of the state.
