1. A board of hospital trustees may acquire a building or other facility for the provision of health care in a county adjacent to the county or one of the counties where the county hospital is established, may operate such a facility, and may, but need not, enter into a contract with a private hospital or other person to operate such a facility, but only if no tax is levied or appropriation made from the county general fund in the county or counties where the county hospital is established for the maintenance and operation of the county hospital. The board of hospital trustees may use money in the hospital fund or in any separate account established by the board for this purpose.
2. To finance the acquisition of the additional facility, the board of hospital trustees may issue, without any election, special obligations payable only from revenues of the additional facility or from those revenues and the revenues of the county hospital and any related facilities. These obligations are not an indebtedness of the county or counties where the county hospital is established or of the county in which the additional facility is located.
3. As used in this section, “acquire” and “acquisition” have the meaning attributed to them in NRS 350.506.
