§ 178.464. Procedure when defendant violates condition of release; hearing to determine whether to continue, modify or terminate conditional release

1. The Division shall notify the court which ordered the commitment of the person

pursuant to NRS 178.461 if the person violates a condition of the release from commitment. 2. If a forensic facility supervising a person on conditional release has probable

cause to believe the person violated a condition of the release from commitment and

is an imminent danger to himself or herself or others, the forensic facility may take

the person into protective custody and transport the person to the forensic facility

or may request that a law enforcement agency take the person into protective custody

and transport the person to the forensic facility. If the forensic facility makes such a request, the law enforcement agency, as soon

as practicable after receiving the request, may take the person into protective custody

and transport the person to the forensic facility. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, within 3 days after a person has

been taken into protective custody and transported to the forensic facility pursuant

to this subsection, the court shall hold a hearing to determine whether to continue,

modify or terminate the conditional release of the person. The hearing may be continued not more than 10 days upon agreement by the counsel

for the person and the prosecuting attorney. 3. If the court is notified pursuant to subsection 1 of a violation, the court shall

consult with the Division, the counsel for the person and the prosecuting attorney

concerning the potential risk to the community that is posed by the noncompliance

of the person with the conditions of release from commitment. 4. If the person on conditional release has not been transported to a forensic facility

pursuant to subsection 2, after consulting with the persons required by subsection

3 and considering the risks to the community, the court may issue a temporary order

of detention to commit the person to custody for evaluation, pending the hearing described

in subsection 5. If the court issues such an order, the court must: (a) Order the sheriff to take the person: (1) Into protective custody and transport the person to a forensic facility; or (2) To a jail where the person must remain in protective custody; and (b) Provide a copy of the order to the counsel for the person and the prosecuting

attorney. 5. Within 10 days after a person has been committed to the custody of the Administrator

for evaluation pursuant to subsection 4, the court shall hold a hearing to determine

whether to continue, modify or terminate the conditional release of the defendant. 6. As used in this section: (a) “ Forensic facility ” has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 175.539 .
