1. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, an offender who complies with the programming and placement identified in the risk and needs assessment administered pursuant to NRS 209.341, as determined by the Director, must be allowed credit against the minimum term or minimum aggregate term, as applicable, of his or her sentence for good behavior in an amount of days that is equivalent to 35 percent of the minimum term or minimum aggregate term, as applicable, of the sentence of the offender. Any credit allowed pursuant to this subsection may reduce the minimum term or the minimum aggregate term imposed by the sentence, as applicable, by not more than 58 percent. Credit must be allowed for the period the offender is actually incarcerated pursuant to his or her sentence and applies to eligibility for parole, unless the offender was sentenced pursuant to a specific statute which specifies that a minimum sentence must be served before the offender becomes eligible for parole. Any forfeiture of credit pursuant to a specific statute must be applied after the credit allowed in this subsection. This subsection does not apply to an offender who has been convicted of:
(a) Any crime that is punishable as a felony involving the use or threatened use of force or violence against the victim.
(b) A sexual offense that is punishable as a felony.
(c) A violation of NRS 484C.110, 484C.120, 484C.130 or 484C.430 that is punishable as a felony.
(d) A category A or B felony.
2. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, an offender who complies with the programming and placement identified in the risk and needs assessment administered pursuant to NRS 209.341, as determined by the Director, must be allowed credit against the maximum term or maximum aggregate term, as applicable, of his or her sentence for good behavior in an amount of days that is equivalent to 35 percent of the maximum term or maximum aggregate term, as applicable, of his or her sentence. Any forfeiture of credit pursuant to a specific statute must be applied after the credit allowed in this subsection. Credit allowed pursuant to this subsection:
(a) Must be allowed only for any period the offender is:
(1) Actually incarcerated pursuant to his or her sentence;
(2) In residential confinement; or

(a) Extend the sentence of the offender; or
(b) Otherwise reduce retroactively the amount of credit allowed to reduce the sentence of the offender under the laws of this State as those laws existed before July 1, 2025, if doing so would constitute a violation under the United States Constitution or the Nevada Constitution.
