1. A court may, in addition to any other fine or penalty imposed, order a person who places graffiti on or otherwise defaces public or private property in violation of NRS 206.125 or 206.330 to participate in counseling, and if the person is less than 18 years of age, order the parent or legal guardian of the person to attend or participate in counseling pursuant to NRS 62E.290.
2. If a court orders a person who violates the provisions of NRS 206.125 or 206.330 to pay restitution, the person shall pay the restitution to:
(a) The owner of the property which was affected by the violation; or
(b) If the violation involved the placing of graffiti on any public property, the governmental entity that incurred or will incur expenses for removing, covering or cleaning up the graffiti.
3. The owner of the property that has been damaged by graffiti or a governmental entity that is otherwise responsible for the property may bring a civil action against the person who placed the graffiti on such property.
