A. A grazing lessee shall not sublease his lease or sell or lease pasturage to lands included in his lease, without written permission from the state land department. A grazing lessee, his sublessee or users under pasturage agreement shall not graze, without written permission of the department, in excess of the carrying capacity as previously determined by the department, upon state lands under lease or being used by such persons, within the exterior boundaries of any one ranch unit or units in the same general locality jointly operated. If permission is granted for such excess, the department shall assess and collect the rental for the excess on the rental basis provided for in this article.

B. In addition to the annual rental on grazing lands established pursuant to section 37-285, grazing subleases are subject to a surcharge that is equal to twenty-five per cent of the annual rental on grazing land, multiplied by the number of animal unit months to be grazed on the subleased state trust land. The surcharge shall be assessed only for that period of time the state trust land is subleased. The surcharge shall be paid to the department when the annual rental is due, or upon receiving department permission to sublease if the sublease is approved after the annual rental is due.
