b)         For purposes of space assignment in DCMS managed buildings, all agencies must abide by this Part.

c)         For purposes of leasing State land, DCMS has primary authority over land controlled by the several departments.  No department may lease State land without the approval of DCMS except that the Departments of Natural Resources, Transportation and Agriculture may lease land under their jurisdiction to comply with program functions.

e)         Any State agency, board, commission, etc., not required by statute or rule to use DCMS real estate services, may elect to do so.
