§ 60-3202 Method of invoking.

Here's a plain English summary of this rule:

A judge can decide to use this act on their own, without anyone asking. The judge simply issues an order to start the process.

A person involved in the case can also ask the judge to use this act. They do this by filing a motion, which is a formal request asking the court to take action.

Either way, it takes a court order to actually put this act into effect. Just wanting to use it or asking for it is not enough. The judge must make the final call and issue the order before the act applies to the case.
