NRS213.1212. Eligibility for parole of prisoner whose sentences have been aggregated; written request to aggregate sentences. [Effective July 1, 2014.]

      1.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if a prisoner is sentenced pursuant to NRS 176.035 to serve two or more consecutive sentences, the terms of which have been aggregated:

      (a) The prisoner shall be deemed to be eligible for parole from all such sentences after serving the minimum aggregate term of imprisonment; and

      (b) The Board is not required to consider the prisoner for parole until the prisoner has served the minimum aggregate term of imprisonment.

      2.  For purposes of determining parole eligibility, a prisoner whose sentences have been aggregated may earn credit pursuant to NRS 209.433 to 209.449, inclusive, which must be deducted from the minimum aggregate term of imprisonment or the maximum aggregate term of imprisonment, as applicable. Such credits may be earned only to the extent that the credits would otherwise be earned had the sentences not been aggregated.

      3.  Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3 of NRS 176.035, a prisoner who is serving consecutive sentences which have not been aggregated may, by submitting a written request to the Director of the Department of Corrections, make an irrevocable election to have the sentences aggregated. If the prisoner makes such an irrevocable election to have the sentences aggregated and:

      (a) The prisoner has not been considered for parole on any of the sentences, the Department of Corrections shall aggregate the sentences in the manner set forth in NRS 176.035 and the Board is not required to consider the prisoner for parole until the prisoner has served the minimum aggregate term of imprisonment.

      (b) The prisoner has been considered for parole on one or more of the sentences, the Department of Corrections shall aggregate only the sentences for which parole has not been considered. The Board is not required to consider the prisoner for parole on the aggregated sentences until the prisoner has served the minimum aggregate term of imprisonment.
