A justice court may not issue an order for the transfer of a case pursuant to paragraph (c) of subsection 1 until a plea agreement has been reached or the final disposition of the case, whichever occurs first.\n3. An order issued by a justice court which transfers a case pursuant to this section becomes effective after a notice of acceptance is returned by the justice court or municipal court to which the case was transferred. If a justice court or municipal court refuses to accept the transfer of a case pursuant to subsection 1, the case must be returned to the justice court which sought the transfer.","path":["TITLE 1 — STATE JUDICIAL DEPARTMENT","CHAPTER 4 - JUSTICE COURTS","GENERAL PROVISIONS"],"source_url":"https://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-004.html#NRS004Sec3713","current_through":"2025 session (NRS as revised 2026-08-25)","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-03T05:51:29Z","sha256":"d3eb0ea11e0b1f309540fb99aca4ba1d0c3d8ede02f10c009f68d0aa4776c702","source_id":"us-nv","stale":true,"prev":"us-nv/nrs-4.371","next":"us-nv/nrs-4.3715"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
