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 Whose probation has been revoked; or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,
