2. A court shall not refuse to place a probation violator in the diversion program if the probation violator does not have the financial resources to pay any or all of the related costs.

3. The court may order a probation violator who is placed in the diversion program to perform a specified amount of community service upon release from the program to contribute toward the cost of his or her treatment and supervision. Any such community service must be performed for and under the supervising authority of a county, city, town or other political subdivision or agency of the State of Nevada or a charitable organization that renders service to the community or its residents.
