§ 277.056. Cooperative agreements concerning insurance between public agencies or nonprofit medical facilities: Additional powers and obligations under such agreements between housing authorities

1. An agreement entered into pursuant to NRS 277.055 by a housing authority created pursuant to chapter 315 of NRS , including, without limitation, the Nevada Rural Housing Authority, with a housing

authority that is a political subdivision of another state or an agency of the United

States may obligate the respective parties to such an agreement to pledge revenues

or contribute money to secure the obligations or pay the expenses of the cooperative

undertaking and may provide for the establishment of a separate entity to administer

the undertaking. 2. Except as otherwise provided in subsections 3 and 4, any party to an agreement

described in subsection 1, or any entity established by such an agreement, may: (a) Obligate itself to contribute money for: (1) The purchase of insurance; (2) The establishment of a reserve fund or other fund for coverage; (3) The payment of any debt; or (4) Any other purpose related to the agreement; (b) Borrow money for any such purpose; (c) Issue notes and bonds evidencing the borrowing; and (d) Secure payment of the notes and bonds by a pledge of revenues. 3. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, any obligation to contribute money

that is undertaken pursuant to an agreement described in subsection 1: (a) Is binding notwithstanding that it is intended to remain in force beyond the current

budget year or the terms of office of the present members of the governing body of

the obligor. (b) If undertaken to pay any debt, must not remain in force for more than 30 years

after the date on which the debt was incurred. (c) If undertaken to pay claims and administrative expenses, must not remain in force

for more than 10 years, except with respect to claims arising from events that occur

during the period the obligation is in force. 4. Except for a pledge of revenues or an obligation to contribute money that pledges

revenues or that otherwise commits money derived from a source other than taxation,

any pledge or obligation which is made or undertaken pursuant to an agreement described

in subsection 1 by a housing authority created in this State must not remain in force

after the end of the biennium in which it is made or undertaken. 5. Any pledge of revenues made by a housing authority created in this State or a separate

entity pursuant to an agreement described in subsection 1 is valid and binding from

the time when the pledge is made. The revenues, money or property so pledged and thereafter received by the housing

authority or separate entity is immediately subject to the lien of such pledge without

any physical delivery thereof or further act, and the lien of any such pledge is valid

and binding as against all persons having claims of any kind in tort, contract or

otherwise against the housing authority or separate entity, whether or not such persons

have notice thereof. Neither the proceedings of the housing authority or separate entity relating to

the bonds or notes issued pursuant to this section nor any other instrument by which

such a pledge is created need be recorded. 6. This section constitutes full authority for the exercise of the powers granted

in this section. Any other act or law which relates to the authorization or issuance of securities

and which provides for an election does not apply to any proceedings taken or acts

done pursuant to this section. 7. An issuance of bonds or notes, pledge of revenues, or obligation to contribute

money that is made or undertaken pursuant to this section shall be deemed not to create

indebtedness for the purposes of any limitation on indebtedness contained in any general

or special law. 8. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the issuance of any bonds or notes

pursuant to this section must be made in accordance with: (a) NRS 315.140 to 315.7813 , inclusive, if the bonds or notes are issued by: (1) An authority, as that term is defined in NRS 315.170 ; or (2) An entity established pursuant to an agreement described in subsection 1 on behalf

of such an authority; or (b) NRS 315.9986 to 315.99874 , inclusive, if the bonds or notes are issued by: (1) The Nevada Rural Housing Authority created pursuant to NRS 315.977 ; or (2) An entity established pursuant to an agreement described in subsection 1 on behalf

of the Nevada Rural Housing Authority.
