1. The board of county commissioners of any county may include in the annual budget of the county items to cover the expense of maintaining a county museum, art center or historical society.
2. The expenditures so budgeted may be met by including them in the annual tax levy of the county, but in no case may the tax levy for such purposes in any 1 year exceed 5 cents on each $100 of the assessed valuation of the property of that county.
3. The proceeds of the tax levy may be paid under contract to a nonprofit historical society, nonprofit museum board or other nonprofit board, committee or organization for their use in paying salaries of museum or art center personnel, in building and maintaining exhibits, in purchasing cabinets, in displaying items and in conducting activities related to a museum or art center, but in no case may such an organization or board make capital improvements without the express approval of the board of county commissioners.
4. The proceeds of the tax levied pursuant to this section are exempt from the limitation imposed by NRS 354.59811 and may be excluded in determining the allowed revenue from taxes ad valorem for the county.
