Section 176.035 - Conviction of two or more offenses; concurrent and consecutive sentences; aggregating consecutive sentences and sentences for additional penalties1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, whenever a person is convicted of two or more offenses, and sentence has been pronounced for one offense, the court in imposing any subsequent sentence may provide that the sentences subsequently pronounced run either concurrently or consecutively with the sentence first imposed. Except as otherwise provided in subsections 3 and 4, if the court makes no order with reference thereto, all such subsequent sentences run concurrently. For offenses committed on or after July 1, 2014, if the court imposes the sentences to run consecutively, the court must pronounce the minimum and maximum aggregate terms of imprisonment pursuant to subsection 2, unless the defendant is sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole or death.2. When aggregating terms of imprisonment pursuant to subsection 1:(a) If at least one sentence imposes a maximum term of imprisonment for life with the possibility of parole, the court must aggregate the minimum terms of imprisonment to determine the minimum aggregate term of imprisonment, and the maximum aggregate term of imprisonment shall be deemed to be imprisonment in the state prison for life with the possibility of parole.(b) If all the sentences impose a minimum and maximum term of imprisonment, the court must aggregate the minimum terms of imprisonment to determine the minimum aggregate term of imprisonment and must aggregate the maximum terms of imprisonment to determine the maximum aggregate term of imprisonment.3. Except as otherwise provided in this section, whenever a person under sentence of imprisonment for committing a felony commits another crime constituting a felony and is sentenced to another term of imprisonment for that felony, the latter term must not begin until the expiration of all prior terms, including the expiration of any prior aggregated terms. If the person is a probationer at the time the subsequent felony is committed, the court may provide that the latter term of imprisonment run concurrently with any prior terms or portions thereof.4. Whenever a person under sentence of imprisonment commits another crime constituting a misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor, the court shall provide expressly whether the sentence subsequently pronounced runs concurrently or consecutively with the one first imposed.5. Whenever a person under sentence of imprisonment commits another crime for which the punishment is death or imprisonment for life without the possibility of parole, the sentence must be executed without reference to the unexpired term of imprisonment.6. Regardless of whether a person is under sentence of imprisonment, if the person commits another crime for which the punishment is death or imprisonment for life without the possibility of parole, the sentence must be executed without reference to eligibility for parole.7. If a court imposes an additional penalty pursuant to NRS 193.161 to 193.1685, inclusive, the sentence imposed for the additional penalty must be aggregated with the sentence imposed for the underlying offense. A prisoner upon whom a sentence for an additional penalty is imposed pursuant to NRS 193.161 to 193.1685, inclusive, before October 1, 2019, may elect to have the sentence imposed for the additional penalty aggregated with the sentence imposed for the underlying offense in accordance with subsection 5 of NRS 213.1212.8. This section does not prevent the State Board of Parole Commissioners from paroling a person under consecutive sentences of imprisonment from a current term of imprisonment to a subsequent term of imprisonment.9. This section must not be construed to prohibit the aggregation of any sentences of imprisonment relating to different cases.Added to NRS by 1967, 1432; A 1973, 181, 674; 1987, 591; 1997, 1187; 2001, 1936; 2013, 221; 2019, 233Amended by 2019, Ch. 47,§1, eff. 10/1/2019.Amended by 2013, Ch. 64,§1, eff. 7/1/2014.Added to NRS by 1967, 1432; A 1973, 181, 674; 1987, 591; 1997, 1187; 2001, 1936
