If a final judgment is obtained or a settlement is agreed for a claim against any political subdivision, except a school district, the governing body of the political subdivision may by resolution provide for the levy and collection of an annual tax not exceeding the limitation in section 57-15-28.1 upon the taxable valuation of property within the political subdivision for the payment of such judgment. This section also applies to a judgment obtained or a settlement agreed for a claim against the political subdivision by the state or any agency or instrumentality of the state.
