If office space in the state capitol becomes insufficient to accommodate the various state departments, agencies, and boards, the director of the office of management and budget upon request of the department, agency, or board shall negotiate for, contract for, and obtain additional office space outside the state capitol in the city of Bismarck or in the Bismarck area as is necessary in order to provide accommodations for all state departments, agencies, and boards. When office space is obtained in this manner, the department, agency, or board that occupies the office space is deemed to be located at the state capitol for purposes of statutes that require that a department, agency, or board must be maintained at the state capitol, and the director shall charge an amount equal to the fair value of the office space and other services rendered to all departments that receive and expend moneys from other than the general fund, except that for good cause the amounts charged may be waived by the director for a one-year period of time with the waiver being subject to further annual renewals after proper application has been filed with the director. The department, agency, or board for which the office space is sought must approve the office space before the director may finalize a contract or lease for the office space.
54-21-24.1. Lease of additional space by state agencies, departments, offices, officers, boards, and institutions. A lease or rental agreement or renewal of the lease or rental agreement for the lease or rental of buildings or portions of buildings for use by state agencies, departments, offices, officers, boards, and institutions, other than institutions under the board of higher education, the adjutant general and department of transportation office and storage space for field engineering and maintenance crews, may be entered by the director of the office of management and budget subject to a determination of the legal sufficiency of the lease or rental agreement. To ensure economy, efficiency, and cooperation between the state and its political subdivisions, and to limit the number of locations of state offices for the convenience of individuals traveling to
the offices, the director shall adopt rules governing the lease or rental of additional buildings or portions of the buildings by state agencies, departments, offices, officers, boards, and institutions other than those under the board of higher education, the adjutant general, and department of transportation office and storage space for field engineering and maintenance crews. The department, agency, or board for which the office space is sought must approve the office space before the director may finalize a contract or lease for the office space. A lease or rental agreement entered under this section must include a list of all owners of the leased property, including each individual with an ownership interest in a business or businesses that directly or indirectly own the leased property if the individual's aggregate ownership interest in the leased property is ten percent or more.
