Copy as parenthetical citation

A. If the board finds that it would be advantageous for the state to accept payment in one or more works of art as payment or partial payment for the estate tax, the personal representative shall, as a condition of state acceptance of this method of payment, forward a copy of the proposed valuation to the division. The division shall have forty-five days from the date of the notification of the proposed valuation to object to that valuation.

B. If the division objects to the proposed valuation, it shall set forth the objection in writing and forward it to the personal representative. The personal representative may take into account the division's objections and submit a new valuation for the division's approval. If the division rejects the new valuation within forty-five days of its submission, the state shall be deemed not to accept the proposed method of payment in works of art.

C. If the division does not object to a submitted valuation of a work of art within forty-five days of its submission, the state shall be deemed to have accepted the work of art for the museum collection as complete or partial payment of the estate tax owed and the board shall assume title to that work of art as soon as practicable.
