provisions of NRS 361.420 and there is
not sufficient money in the general fund of the county affected by the judgment
to satisfy the judgment, the board of county commissioners of the county shall
immediately levy and provide for the collection of a sufficient tax upon all
the taxable property within the county, exclusive of the property of the person
securing the judgment, to satisfy the judgment and any interest on the judgment
as may have been fixed and determined by the court.
4. Annually, the boards of county
commissioners of the respective counties shall provide in their respective
budgets a reasonable amount of money and shall levy a tax to provide for the
payment of interest required in NRS 361.420
with respect to judgments which may be secured against the counties.
5. The Governor shall include in the
biennial proposed executive budget of the State a reasonable amount of money to

against the State pursuant to NRS 361.420
is presented for satisfaction there is not sufficient money in the State
Treasury set apart for the satisfaction of the judgment, the State Treasurer
shall satisfy the judgment from money then in the General Fund of the State.
