Chapter 62E - Disposition of Cases by Juvenile Court
NRS 62E.630 - Certain acts involving alcohol or controlled substance: Suspension or delay in issuance of driver s license.

1. Except as otherwise provided in this section, if a child is adjudicated delinquent for the unlawful act of using, possessing, selling or distributing a controlled substance, or purchasing, consuming or possessing an alcoholic beverage in violation of NRS 202.020, the juvenile court shall:

(a) If the child possesses a driver s license, issue an order suspending the driver s license of the child for at least 90 days but not more than 2 years; or

(b) If the child does not possess a driver s license and the child is or will be eligible to receive a driver s license within the 2 years immediately following the date of the order, issue an order prohibiting the child from receiving a driver s license for a period specified by the juvenile court which must be at least 90 days but not more than 2 years:

(1) Immediately following the date of the order, if the child is eligible to receive a driver s license; or

(2) After the date the child will be eligible to receive a driver s license, if the child is not eligible to receive a driver s license on the date of the order.

2. If the child is already the subject of a court order suspending or delaying the issuance of the driver s license of the child, the juvenile court shall order the additional suspension or delay, as appropriate, to apply consecutively with the previous order.

3. If the juvenile court finds that a suspension or delay in the issuance of the driver s license of a child pursuant to this section would cause or is causing a severe or undue hardship to the child or his or her immediate family and that the child is otherwise eligible to receive a driver s license, the juvenile court may order the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue a restricted driver s license to the child pursuant to NRS 483.490.

4. If the juvenile court issues an order requiring the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue a restricted driver s license to a child pursuant to subsection 3, not later than 5 days after issuing the order, the juvenile court shall forward to the Department of Motor Vehicles a copy of the order.
