Nevada § 232.355

• Jurisdiction: Nevada
• Title 18: STATE EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
• Ch. 232: State

Text

1. Except for gifts or grants specifically accounted for in another fund, all gifts or grants of money or other property which the divisions of the Department are authorized to accept must be accounted for in the Department of Health and Human Services’ Gift Fund, which is hereby created as a special revenue fund. The Fund is a continuing fund without reversion. The Department may establish such accounts in the Fund as are necessary to account properly for gifts received. All such money received by the divisions must be deposited in the State Treasury for credit to the Fund. The money in the Fund must be paid out on claims as other claims against the State are paid. Unless otherwise specifically provided by statute, claims against the Fund must be approved by the Director or the Director’s delegate.
2. Gifts of property other than money may be sold or exchanged when this is deemed by the head of the facility or agency responsible for the gift to be in the best interest of the facility or agency. The sale price must not be less than 90 percent of the value determined by a qualified appraiser appointed by the head of the facility or agency. All money received from the sale must be deposited in the State Treasury to the credit of the appropriate gift account in the Department of Health and Human Services’ Gift Fund. The money may be spent only for the purposes of the facility or agency named in the title of the account. The property may not be sold or exchanged if to do so would violate the terms of the gift.
