A. If a state agency or institution that leases a parcel of trust land is also a beneficiary of that trust, the department may offset trust proceeds to the agency against the rent due from the agency or institution. The amount of the offset shall be included in the agency’s or institution’s beneficiary account under the trust and shall be recorded by the department and the agency or institution in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

B. The commissioner, with the approval of the selection board, may transfer and substitute the designation of trust land parcels between land grant trusts if the parcels have substantially equal value and the substitution would permit an offset under subsection A against the rent due from a state agency or institution that leases one of the parcels.
