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

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.
