B. A business lease may identify existing and proposed improvements that are approved by the commissioner when the commissioner determines it is in the best interests of the trust.
C. If the commissioner does not grant prior approval for improvements, the commissioner may, in the best interests of the trust, approve improvements after the improvements have been placed, developed, created or constructed on, obtained or developed for the benefit of, or made appurtenant to trust land.
