(b) The governing body of the school corporation may annually appropriate money in the operations fund to be paid in semiannual installments to an art association having facilities in a city that is described in subsection (a), subject to subsection (c).

(c) Before an art association may receive payments under this section, the association's governing board must adopt a resolution that entitles:

(1) the governing body of the school corporation to appoint the school corporation's superintendent and director of art instruction as visitors who may attend all meetings of the association's governing board;

(2) the governing body of the school corporation to nominate individuals for membership on the association's governing board, with at least two (2) of the nominees to be elected;

A copy of the resolution, certified by the president and secretary of the association, must be filed in the office of the school corporation before payments may be received.

(d) A resolution filed under subsection (c) is not required to be renewed annually. The resolution continues in effect until rescinded. An art association that complies with this section is entitled to continue to receive payments under this section as long as the art association complies with the resolution.
