1. The Administrator shall: (a) Establish the qualifications and standards for a historical markers program, designate a qualified site when the owner consents and make an inventory of qualified sites on both public and privately owned lands. (b) Establish a state historical marker registry system. (c) Consult with the Nevada Historical Society to determine the content of the legend on all markers. Upon request by any state agency or political subdivision, the Administrator shall prepare the legend for any new historical marker identified in the inventory of qualified sites not already included in the State Historical Marker Registry. (d) Solicit the cooperation of owners of private property for the installation of historical markers on eligible properties and structures in order that they may be included in the State Historical Marker Registry. 2. When the owner of private property consents to the placement by a nonprofit organization of a historical marker in or on a structure located on his or her property, the owner shall be deemed to have consented to the maintenance of the historical marker in or on the structure for as long as the structure remains standing unless the owner notifies the nonprofit organization and requests the organization to remove the historical marker. The owner shall notify any person to whom he or she sells or otherwise transfers ownership of the structure of the duty to maintain the historical marker. The purchaser of a structure in or on which a historical marker has been placed by a nonprofit organization shall maintain the historical marker on the structure for as long as he or she owns the structure and shall notify any person to whom he or she sells or otherwise transfers ownership of the structure of the duty to maintain the historical marker unless the purchaser notifies the nonprofit organization and requests the organization to remove the historical marker. If the structure in or on which a historical marker is placed by a nonprofit organization is renovated or remodeled in such a manner as to require the removal of the historical marker, the owner shall ensure that the marker is reattached to the structure in the same place or in a place of similar prominence as soon as practicable after the completion of the renovation or remodeling project.
