1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, the board of county commissioners

of a county whose population is 700,000 or more may by ordinance impose a fee upon

the lease of a passenger car by a short-term lessor in the county in the amount of

not more than 2 percent of the total amount for which the passenger car was leased,

excluding any taxes or other fees imposed by a governmental entity. If the board of county commissioners has imposed a fee pursuant to this section,

the board of county commissioners shall by ordinance require such a fee to be charged

and collected, in the manner required by NRS 482C.230 , when a shared vehicle that is a passenger car is shared through a peer-to-peer car

sharing program in the county. 2. The fee imposed pursuant to subsection 1 must not apply to replacement vehicles. As used in this subsection, “ replacement vehicle ” means a vehicle that is: (a) Rented temporarily by or on behalf of a person or leased to a person by a facility

that repairs motor vehicles or a motor vehicle dealer; and (b) Used by the person in place of a motor vehicle owned by the person that is unavailable

for use because of mechanical breakdown, repair, service, damage or loss as defined

in the owner's policy of liability insurance for the motor vehicle. 3. After reimbursement of the Department pursuant to paragraph (a) of subsection 1

of NRS 244A.870 for its expense in collecting and administering a fee imposed pursuant to this section,

the remaining proceeds of the fee which are received by a county must be used to pay

the costs to acquire, improve, equip, operate and maintain within the county a performing

arts center, or to pay the principal of, interest on or other payments due with respect

to bonds issued to pay those costs, including bonds issued to refund bonds issued

to pay those costs, or any combination thereof. 4. The board of county commissioners of a county that imposes the fee authorized by

subsection 1 may enter into a cooperative agreement with another governmental entity

in which the other governmental entity agrees to receive the proceeds of the fee from

the county if the cooperative agreement includes a provision that requires the other

governmental entity to assume all responsibility for the operation of the performing

arts center and to use the proceeds of the fee it receives from the county to pay

the costs to acquire, improve, equip, operate and maintain within the county a performing

arts center, and to pay the principal of, interest on or other payments due with respect

to bonds issued to pay those costs, including bonds issued to refund bonds issued

to pay those costs, or any combination thereof. A governmental entity that enters into a cooperative agreement with the board of

county commissioners pursuant to this subsection may delegate to a nonprofit organization

one or more of the responsibilities that the governmental entity assumed pursuant

to the cooperative agreement, including, without limitation, the acquisition, design,

construction, improvement, equipment, operation and maintenance of the center. 5. The board of county commissioners shall not repeal or amend or otherwise directly

or indirectly modify an ordinance imposing a fee pursuant to subsection 1 in such

a manner as to impair any outstanding bonds issued by or other obligations incurred

by the county until all obligations for which revenue from the ordinance have been

pledged or otherwise made payable from such revenue have been discharged in full or

provision for full payment and redemption has been made. 6. A performing arts center to be acquired, improved, equipped, operated and maintained

pursuant to this section may, regardless of the estimated cost of the center, be designed

and constructed pursuant to a contract with a design-build team in accordance with NRS 338.1711 to 338.1727 , inclusive. 7. As used in this section, the words and terms defined in NRS 482.053 , 482.087 , 482C.180 and 482C.190 have the meanings ascribed to them in those sections.
