A prosecuting attorney shall not dismiss a charge of violating the provisions of NRS 484C.110 or 484C.120 in exchange for a plea of guilty, guilty but mentally ill or nolo contendere to a lesser charge or for any other reason unless the attorney knows or it is obvious that the charge is not supported by probable cause or cannot be proved at the time of trial.

2. The court may grant probation to or suspend the sentence of a person to assign the person to a program for the treatment of veterans and members of the military pursuant to NRS 176A.290 if the charge is for a first violation of the provisions of NRS 484C.110 or 484C.120 that is punishable as a misdemeanor.
