(1) Except as provided in ORS 274.043 (Exemptions from leasing requirements) (1) to (3), in ORS 274.085 (Acquisition for Common School Fund investment) for leases of submersible lands acquired as an investment for the Common School Fund, in ORS 274.530 (Lease or license of stream beds for removal of material) (1) for leases of submersible lands of less than one year’s duration, in ORS 274.530 (Lease or license of stream beds for removal of material) (3) for licenses of less than three years’ duration and in subsections (2) and (3) of this section, submersible lands owned by the State of Oregon may be leased only to the highest bidder, bidding at least the minimum amount designated by the Department of State Lands under subsection (6) of this section for the lease of any such lands, after being advertised not less than once each week for two successive weeks in one or more newspapers of general circulation in the county in which the lands are situated. However, any owner of lands abutting or fronting on such submersible lands shall have the preference right to lease the lands unless the submersible lands are occupied by a person claiming the right of occupancy under a conveyance recorded before January 1, 1981, from the present owner or predecessor in interest of lands abutting or fronting the submersible lands. If so, the occupant of the submersible lands shall have the preference right to lease the lands. An easement or license related to utility service on the submersible lands does not establish a preference right under this subsection. The lands shall be leased for the amount designated by the department under subsection (6) of this section as the minimum amount for the lease of any such lands. The preference provided in this subsection applies to any lease of submersible land for one year or more offered or issued under ORS 274.530 (Lease or license of stream beds for removal of material). The preference provided in this subsection does not apply to any lease offered or issued by the department under ORS 274.705 (Definitions for ORS 274.705 to 274.860) to 274.860 (Protection and location of filled lands).

(6) The Department of State Lands shall designate the minimum acceptable amount for the lease of any submersible lands otherwise authorized by law, other than any lease offered or issued by the department under ORS 274.705 (Definitions for ORS 274.705 to 274.860) to 274.860 (Protection and location of filled lands).
(8) The act of any person entering into an agreement with the department under this section or ORS 274.530 (Lease or license of stream beds for removal of material) for the lease of submersible lands shall not be considered a waiver by such person of any claim of ownership in the submersible lands described in the agreement.
