1. If the justice court or municipal court
determines that a defendant has successfully completed the terms and conditions
of a preprosecution diversion program ordered pursuant to subsection 5 of NRS 174.032 , the court must discharge the
defendant and dismiss the indictment, information, complaint or citation.
2. Discharge and dismissal pursuant to
subsection 1 is without adjudication of guilt and is not a conviction for
purposes of employment, civil rights or any statute or regulation or license or
questionnaire or for any other public or private purpose. Discharge and dismissal
restores the defendant, in the contemplation of the law, to the status occupied
before the indictment, information, complaint or citation. The defendant may
not be held thereafter under any law to be guilty of perjury or otherwise
giving a false statement by reason of failure to recite or acknowledge the
indictment, information, complaint or citation in response to an inquiry made
of the defendant for any purpose.
3. If the justice court or municipal court
determines that a defendant has not successfully completed the terms or
conditions of a preprosecution diversion program ordered pursuant to subsection
5 of NRS 174.032 , the court must issue
an order terminating the participation of the defendant in the preprosecution
diversion program and order the defendant to appear for an arraignment to enter
a plea based on the original indictment, information, complaint or citation
pursuant to NRS 174.015 .
