the authority shall notify the department, which shall recapture any portion, or the full amount, of the credit awarded for qualified investments in that qualified small business from the qualified investor that received the credit award or any taxpayer receiving the credit through a valid transfer. Any amounts collected from the recapture shall be deposited in the general fund.
