Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. Under Office regulations, limitations
may be placed on the powers granted by NRS
412.286 to 412.302 , inclusive, with
respect to the kind and amount of punishment authorized and the categories of
commanding officers and warrant officers exercising command authorized to
exercise those powers. Under Office regulations, rules may be prescribed with
respect to the suspension of punishments authorized hereunder. If authorized by
Office regulations, a commanding officer exercising general court-martial
jurisdiction or an officer of general rank in command may delegate his or her
powers under NRS 412.286 to 412.302 , inclusive, to a principal
assistant.
2. When nonjudicial punishment has been
imposed for an offense, nonjudicial punishment may not again be imposed for the
same offense. Administrative action can be taken for the same offense and will
not be considered double punishment under the Code. For the purposes of this
subsection, same offense means an offense that was part of a single incident
or course of conduct.
3. After nonjudicial punishment has been
imposed, it may not be increased, upon appeal or otherwise, unless the
punishment imposed was not provided for in the Code.
4. When a commanding officer determines
that nonjudicial punishment is appropriate for a particular serviceman or
servicewoman, all known offenses determined to be appropriate for disposition
by nonjudicial punishment and ready to be considered at that time, including,
without limitation, all such offenses arising from a single incident or course
of conduct, must ordinarily be considered together, rather than being made the
basis for multiple punishment.
5. Nonjudicial punishment may not be
imposed for any offense which was committed more than 3 years before the date
of imposition of punishment, unless such 3-year limitation is waived by the
accused in writing or unless the accused has filed an appeal under this Code.
6. Nothing in subsection 2 or 4 precludes
a commanding officer from imposing, at one time, more than one punishment
nonjudicially for the offense or offenses arising from a single incident or
course of conduct authorized in the Code.
