The punishments which a court-martial may direct for an offense may not exceed limits prescribed by this Code, but a sentence may not exceed more than confinement for 10 years for a military offense nor can a sentence of death be adjudged. Any conviction by general court-martial of any military offense for which an accused can receive a sentence of confinement for more than 1 year is a felony. Except for convictions by a summary court-martial, all other military offenses are misdemeanors. Any conviction by a summary court-martial is not a criminal conviction.\n2. The limits of punishment for violations of punitive articles prescribed herein must be the lesser of the sentences prescribed by the Manual for Courts-Martial of the United States that went into effect on January 1, 2004, and the most current edition of the State manual for courts-martial, if any, but no punishment may exceed that authorized by this Code.\n3. None of the provisions of this Code shall subject anyone to imprisonment for failure to pay a fine imposed by a military court.","path":["TITLE 36 — MILITARY AFFAIRS AND CIVIL EMERGENCIES","CHAPTER 412 - STATE MILITIA","NEVADA CODE OF MILITARY JUSTICE","Sentences"],"source_url":"https://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-412.html#NRS412Sec408","current_through":"2025 session (NRS as revised 2026-08-25)","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-03T05:51:39Z","sha256":"7e37a2ba3dcc258b9ae4a64b84248fc7045e5bfa62e869118723694f73e4c27c","source_id":"us-nv","stale":true,"prev":"us-nv/nrs-412.406","next":"us-nv/nrs-412.412"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
