be made payable from the taxes levied by the municipality against all taxable property

authorized by this chapter that are made payable from taxes without also making the
securities payable from any net pledged revenues or tax proceeds accounted for in
a tax increment account, or from both of those sources of revenue. 4. Any securities payable only in the manner provided in either paragraph (a) of subsection
3 or both subsection 2 and paragraph (a) of subsection 3: (a) Are special obligations of the municipality and are not in their issuance subject
to any debt limitation imposed by law; (b) While they are outstanding, do not exhaust the debt incurring power of the municipality;
and (c) May be issued under the provisions of the Local Government Securities Law, except
as otherwise provided in this chapter, without any compliance with the provisions
of NRS 350.020 to 350.070 , inclusive, except as otherwise provided in the Local Government Securities Law,
only after the issuance of municipal bonds is approved under the provisions of NRS 350.011 to 350.0165 , inclusive. 5. Any securities payable from taxes in the manner provided in paragraph (b) of subsection
3, regardless of whether they are also payable in the manner provided in paragraph
(a) of subsection 3 or in both subsection 2 and paragraph (a) of subsection 3: (a) Are general obligations of the municipality and are in their issuance subject
to such debt limitation; (b) While they are outstanding, do exhaust the power of the municipality to incur
debt; and (c) May be issued under the provisions of the Local Government Securities Law only
after the issuance of municipal bonds is approved under the provisions of: (1) NRS 350.011 to 350.0165 , inclusive; or (2) NRS 350.020 to 350.070 , inclusive, except for the issuance of notes or warrants under the Local Government Securities
Law that are payable out of the revenues for the current year and are not to be funded
with the proceeds of interim debentures or bonds in the absence of such bond approval
under the two acts designated in subparagraphs (1) and (2). 6. In the proceedings for the advancement of money, or the making of loans, or the
incurrence of any indebtedness, whether funded, refunded, assumed or otherwise, by
the municipality to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, the undertaking, the
portion of taxes mentioned in subsection 4 of NRS 278C.250 must be irrevocably pledged for the payment of the bond requirements of the loans,
advances or indebtedness. The provisions in the Local Government Securities Law pertaining to net pledged
revenues are applicable to such a pledge to secure the payment of tax increment bonds.
