§127. Allocation of space
A. For purposes of this Section, the term "state owned buildings" shall mean public buildings belonging to or under the control of the state of Louisiana and used to house personnel, equipment, or services of the various agencies of the state. Neither the fact that any agency or functional unit of the state is headed by an elected or an appointed officer or is controlled by a board or commission nor the fact that any agency or functional unit of the state derives its operating funds from direct legislative appropriations, dedication or other allocation or sources of revenues, fees or charges or assessments, or from any other specified source of funds available to the state or for use by the state shall be a factor in determining the buildings to which this Section shall apply.
B. Except for the space governed by the provisions of R.S. 49:150.1, space in all state owned buildings, regardless of its location in the state, shall be allocated solely by the division of administration. No agency of the state government shall move its personnel, operations, equipment, or activities from one state owned building to any other part thereof, or acquire additional space in any state owned building or allocate space to non-state entities, unless the approval of the division of administration has been obtained.
C. The division of administration shall not have the authority to allocate space for health care, educational, or correctional institutions. However, should any state agency vacate space, whether an entire building or institution or a portion thereof, the division of administration shall have the authority to reallocate that vacated space. However, the reallocation of vacated space located on the campus of an institution of higher education shall require the concurrence of the governing board of the institution.
D. In exercising its authority pursuant to this Section, the division of administration shall comply with federal laws and regulations and with state-federal agreements with respect to the housing of any agency, or its personnel, operations, equipment, or activities, which receives or administers any federal funds.
