A political subdivision, except a school district, levying a tax for the payment of a judgment or a settlement of a claim in accordance with section 32-12.1-11 may levy a tax not exceeding five mills. If the political subdivision held a liability insurance policy or insurance contract, purchased by a political subdivision or a government self-insurance pool in which the political subdivision participates pursuant to chapter 32-12.1, which provides coverage to at least the liability limits under section 32-12.1-03 and that coverage was in force at the time of the occurrence that gave rise to the claim of relief, the political subdivision may levy a tax not exceeding a total of ten mills for the payment of a judgment or a settlement of a claim in accordance with section 32-12.1-11. The tax levy limitations specified by law do not apply to mill levies under this section, expressed in mills per dollar of taxable valuation of property in the political subdivision.
