State agency property; authorize DFA as central leasing agent for all state agencies.

SB 2097 would designate Mississippi's Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) as the sole leasing agent for all state agencies requiring office space. It requires agencies to obtain DFA approval before leasing private buildings and mandates prioritizing state-owned buildings first. The bill establishes standard lease agreements, allows DFA to consolidate agencies into shared spaces for cost savings, and sets requirements for lease requests and approvals. This affects all state agencies (excluding military, universities, and community colleges) needing office space, aiming to streamline leasing and reduce costs.
