employees as are necessary for the operation and maintenance of the cemeteries, except

that the number of such additional full-time employees that the Director may employ

at each cemetery must not exceed 60 percent of the number of full-time employees for

national veterans' cemeteries that is established by the National Cemetery Administration

of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. 5. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 7, gifts of personal property which

the Director is authorized to receive but which are not appropriate for conversion

Fund. Gifts of money that the Director is authorized to accept and which the donor has

restricted to one or more uses at a veterans' cemetery must be accounted for separately

in the Gift Account for Veterans Cemeteries. The interest and income earned on the money deposited pursuant to this subsection

must, after deducting any applicable charges, be accounted for separately for a veterans'

cemetery in northern Nevada or a veterans' cemetery in southern Nevada, as applicable. Any money remaining in the Gift Account for Veterans Cemeteries at the end of each

fiscal year does not revert to the State General Fund, but must be carried over into

the next fiscal year. 7. The Director shall use gifts of money or personal property that he or she is authorized

to accept and for which the donor has restricted to one or more uses at a veterans'

cemetery in the manner designated by the donor, except that if the original purpose

of the gift has been fulfilled or the original purpose cannot be fulfilled for good

cause, any money or personal property remaining in the gift may be used for other

purposes at the veterans' cemetery in northern Nevada or the veterans' cemetery in

southern Nevada, as appropriate.
