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.
