This bill authorizes justice courts and municipal courts in Nevada to establish treatment programs for veterans and military members, amending existing sentencing law to include provisions for these programs.

  • NRS 176.015

    is a veteran or a member of the military and → is a veteran or a member of the military who meets the qualifications of section 2 of this act

    This change clarifies the criteria under which the court can assign treatment programs for veterans or military members at sentencing.

  • NRS 176A.280

    a veteran or a member of the military → an eligible defendant

    This alteration modifies the language to reflect that only eligible defendants, based on specific criteria, may be assigned to treatment programs.

  • NRS 176A.285

    [1. A] If a justice court or [a] municipal court has not established a program pursuant to NRS 176A.280, the justice court or municipal court, as applicable, may, upon approval of the district court, transfer original jurisdiction to the district court of a case involving an eligible defendant [.]

    This change removes unnecessary qualifying language about the justice or municipal court's establishment of programs, streamlining the transfer of jurisdiction in relevant cases.

  • NRS 176A.290

    [a defendant who is a veteran or a member of the military and who suffers from mental illness, alcohol or drug abuse or posttraumatic stress disorder as described in NRS 176A.285] → an eligible defendant

    This adjustment simplifies the criteria for defendants eligible for treatment programs by using a consistent term.
