Where the surface of state-owned lands sought for use or development of geothermal resources or the waters thereon are under the jurisdiction of a state department or agency other than the commission, the commission may issue permits or leases under this article only with the consent of and subject to such reasonable terms and conditions as may be prescribed by that other department or agency to ensure the adequate utilization of the surface of the lands or the waters thereon for the purposes for which they are then being administered or for which they were acquired. The other department or agency shall not prescribe any terms and provisions inconsistent with this article.

Notwithstanding Section 6217, as of June 30th of each year, a sum that is 50 percent of the revenue received by the state for the fiscal year ending on that June 30th, pursuant to leases for the development of geothermal resources on the surface of lands under the jurisdiction of that state department or agency, shall be available for appropriation by the Legislature solely for the programs of that state department or agency.
