1. Fees prohibited generally. Except as provided in subsection 2, a rental fee may not be required or received for the granting of authority to the division to operate a vending facility.

A. The vending facility generates revenue primarily from the general public at large rather than from public employees; [PL 1997, c. 393, Pt. A, §31 (NEW).]
B. The vending facility occupies space for which there are other competing retail commercial uses and other retail users are, in fact, renting nearby public space on the property; and [PL 1997, c. 393, Pt. A, §31 (NEW).]
C. The public owner depends on generating revenue from the space occupied by the vending facility. [PL 1997, c. 393, Pt. A, §31 (NEW).]
Any rent or other fee charged to the operator must be less than what would otherwise be charged to a competing commercial tenant and must be pursuant to a written agreement. The terms of the agreement must adequately account for the value of investments made by the division to create or maintain the vending facility.
