CHAPTER

279

AN ACT relating to probation; requiring that a probationer who is not eligible for an honorable discharge from probation receive a dishonorable discharge under certain circumstances; and providing other matters properly relating thereto.

[Approved July 3, 1997]

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEMBLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

~^
Section 1. NRS 176.245 is hereby amended to read as follows:
176.245 [Every defendant:
1. Whose probation has been revoked; or
2. Whose] A defendant whose term of probation has expired [, and:
(a)] and:
1. Whose whereabouts are unknown;
[(b)] 2. Who has failed to make restitution in full as ordered by the court, without a verified showing of economic hardship; or
[(c)] 3. Who has otherwise failed to qualify for an honorable discharge as provided in NRS 176.225,
is not eligible for an honorable discharge and [may] must be given a dishonorable discharge. A dishonorable discharge releases the probationer from any further obligation, except a civil liability arising on the date of discharge for any unpaid restitution, but does not entitle the probationer to any privilege conferred by NRS 176.225.
