  1.19  the enrollee is committed to the custody of the commissioner of 
  1.20  corrections following a conviction for a first-degree driving 
  1.21  while impaired offense under section 169A.24 if:  (1) a court of

  2.1   the requirements of this section shall not be subject to a

  2.9   chemical dependency treatment paid by the health plan company to 
  2.10  a participating provider of the health plan company.  
  2.11     (d) For purposes of this section, chemical dependency 
  2.12  treatment means all covered services that are intended to treat 
  2.13  chemical dependency and that are covered by the enrollee's 
  2.14  health plan or by law.

  4.28  amended to read: 
  4.29     169A.275 [MANDATORY PENALTIES; NONFELONY VIOLATIONS.] 
  4.30     Subdivision 1.  [SECOND OFFENSE.] (a) The court shall

  4.33  prior impaired driving incident to either:  
  4.34     (1) a minimum of 30 days of incarceration, at least 48 
  4.35  hours of which must be served consecutively in a local 
  4.36  correctional facility; or 
  5.1      (2) eight hours of community work service for each day less 
  5.2   than 30 days that the person is ordered to serve in a local

  5.4   Notwithstanding section 609.135 (stay of imposition or execution 
  5.5   of sentence), the penalties in this paragraph must be executed, 
  5.6   unless the court departs from the mandatory minimum sentence 
  5.7   under paragraph (b) or (c). 
  5.8      (b) Prior to sentencing, the prosecutor may file a motion

  5.17     (c) The court may, on its own motion, sentence a defendant

  5.25  ordered to participate in a program established under section 
  5.26  169A.74 (pilot programs of intensive probation for repeat DWI

  5.30  proportional to the extent of the offender's prior criminal and 
  5.31  moving traffic violation record.  Any sentence required under

  6.5   of which must be served consecutively in a local correctional

  6.12     (b) The court may order that the person serve not more than 
  6.13  60 days of the minimum penalty under paragraph (a), clause (1), 
  6.14  on home detention or in an intensive probation program described 
  6.15  in section 169A.74.

  6.19  the person to the custody of the commissioner of corrections as

  6.21  violations), the court shall sentence a person who is convicted

  6.24  driving incidents to either:

  6.26  days of which must be served consecutively in a local 
  6.27  correctional facility; or 
  6.28     (2) a program of intensive supervision of the type 
  6.29  described in section 169A.74 (pilot programs of intensive 
  6.30  probation for repeat DWI offenders) that requires the person to

  6.34  150 days of the minimum penalty under paragraph (a), clause (1), 
  6.35  on home detention or in an intensive probation program described 
  6.36  in section 169A.74.  Notwithstanding section 609.135, the 
  7.1   penalties in this subdivision must be imposed and executed. 
  7.2      Subd. 4.  [FIFTH OFFENSE OR MORE.] (a) Unless the court 
  7.3   commits the person to the custody of the commissioner of 
  7.4   corrections as provided in section 169A.276 (mandatory 
  7.5   penalties; felony violations), the court shall sentence a person 
  7.6   who is convicted of a violation of section 169A.20 (driving 
  7.7   while impaired) within ten years of the first of four or more 
  7.8   qualified prior impaired driving incidents to either: 
  7.9      (1) a minimum of one year of incarceration, at least 60 
  7.10  days of which must be served consecutively in a local 
  7.11  correctional facility; or 
  7.12     (2) a program of intensive supervision of the type 
  7.13  described in section 169A.74 (pilot programs of intensive 
  7.14  probation for repeat DWI offenders) that requires the person to 
  7.15  consecutively serve at least six days in a local correctional 
  7.16  facility.  
  7.17     (b) The court may order that the person serve the remainder 
  7.18  of the minimum penalty under paragraph (a), clause (1), on 
  7.19  intensive probation using an electronic monitoring system or, if 
  7.20  such a system is unavailable, on home detention.  
  7.21  Notwithstanding section 609.135, the penalties in this 
  7.22  subdivision must be imposed and executed. 
  7.23     Subd. 5.  [LEVEL OF CARE RECOMMENDED IN CHEMICAL USE 
  7.24  ASSESSMENT.] Unless the court commits the person to the custody 
  7.25  of the commissioner of corrections as provided in section 
  7.26  169A.276 (mandatory penalties; felony violations), in addition 
  7.27  to other penalties required under this section, the court shall 
  7.28  order a person to submit to the level of care recommended in the 
  7.29  chemical use assessment conducted under section 169A.70 (alcohol 
  7.30  safety program; chemical use assessments) if the person is 
  7.31  convicted of violating section 169A.20 (driving while impaired) 
  7.32  while having an alcohol concentration of 0.20 or more as 
  7.33  measured at the time, or within two hours of the time, of the 
  7.34  offense or if the violation occurs within ten years of one or 
  7.35  more qualified prior impaired driving incidents. 
  7.36     Sec. 9.  [169A.276] [MANDATORY PENALTIES; FELONY 
  8.1   VIOLATIONS.] 
  8.2      Subdivision 1.  [MANDATORY PRISON SENTENCE.] (a) The court 
  8.3   shall sentence a person who is convicted of a violation of 
  8.4   section 169A.20 (driving while impaired) under the circumstances 
  8.5   described in section 169A.24 (first-degree driving while 
  8.6   impaired) to imprisonment for not less than three years.  In 
  8.7   addition, the court may order the person to pay a fine of not 
  8.8   more than $14,000.  
  8.9      (b) The court may stay execution of this mandatory sentence 
  8.10  as provided in subdivision 2 (stay of mandatory sentence), but 
  8.11  may not stay imposition of the sentence or impose a sentence 
  8.12  that has a duration of less than three years. 
  8.13     (c) Notwithstanding the statutory maximum sentence provided 
  8.14  in section 169A.24 (first-degree driving while impaired), when 
  8.15  the court commits a person to the custody of the commissioner of 
  8.16  corrections under this subdivision, it shall provide that after 
  8.17  the person has been released from prison the commissioner shall 
  8.18  place the person on conditional release for five years.  The 
  8.19  commissioner shall impose any conditions of release that the 
  8.20  commissioner deems appropriate including, but not limited to, 
  8.21  successful completion of an intensive probation program as 
  8.22  described in section 169A.74 (pilot programs of intensive 
  8.23  probation for repeat DWI offenders).  If the person fails to 
  8.24  comply with any condition of release, the commissioner may 
  8.25  revoke the person's conditional release and order the person to 
  8.26  serve all or part of the remaining portion of the conditional 
  8.27  release term in prison.  The commissioner may not dismiss the 
  8.28  person from supervision before the conditional release term 
  8.29  expires.  Except as otherwise provided in this section, 
  8.30  conditional release is governed by provisions relating to 
  8.31  supervised release.  The failure of a court to direct the 
  8.32  commissioner of corrections to place the person on conditional 
  8.33  release, as required in this paragraph, does not affect the 
  8.34  applicability of the conditional release provisions to the 
  8.35  person. 
  8.36     (d) The commissioner shall require persons placed on 
  9.1   supervised or conditional release under this subdivision to pay 
  9.2   as much of the costs of the supervision as possible.  The 
  9.3   commissioner shall develop appropriate standards for this.  
  9.4      Subd. 2.  [STAY OF MANDATORY SENTENCE.] The provisions of 
  9.5   sections 169A.275 (mandatory penalties; nonfelony violations), 
  9.6   subdivision 3 or 4, and subdivision 5, and 169A.283 (stay of 
  9.7   execution of sentence), apply if the court stays execution of 
  9.8   the sentence under subdivision 1 (mandatory prison sentence).  
  9.9   In addition, the provisions of section 169A.277 (long-term 
  9.10  monitoring) may apply.  
  9.11     Subd. 3.  [DRIVER'S LICENSE REVOCATION; NO STAY PERMITTED.] 
  9.12  The court may not stay the execution of the driver's license 
  9.13  revocation provisions of section 169A.54 (impaired driving 
  9.14  convictions and adjudications; administrative penalties). 
  9.15     Sec. 10.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 169A.283, 
  9.16  subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
  9.17     Subdivision 1.  [STAY AUTHORIZED.] Except as otherwise 
  9.18  provided in section sections 169A.275 (mandatory penalties; 
  9.19  nonfelony violations) and 169A.276 (mandatory penalties; felony 
  9.20  violations), when a court sentences a person convicted of a 
  9.21  violation of section 169A.20 (driving while impaired), the court 
  9.22  may stay execution of the criminal sentence described in section 
  9.23  169A.25 169A.24 (first-degree driving while impaired), 169A.26 
  9.24  169A.25 (second-degree driving while impaired), or 169A.27 
  9.25  169A.26 (third-degree driving while impaired), or 169A.27 
  9.26  (fourth-degree driving while impaired) on the condition that the 
  9.27  convicted person submit to the level of care recommended in the 
  9.28  chemical use assessment report required under section 169A.70 
  9.29  (alcohol safety programs; chemical use assessments).  If the 
  9.30  court does not order a level of care in accordance with the 
  9.31  assessment report recommendation as a condition of a stay of 
  9.32  execution, it shall state on the record its reasons for not 
  9.33  following the assessment report recommendation. 
  9.34     Sec. 11.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 169A.40, 
  9.35  subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
  9.36     Subd. 3.  [FIRST-DEGREE AND SECOND-DEGREE DWI OFFENDERS; 
 10.1   CUSTODIAL ARREST.] Notwithstanding rule 6.01 of the Rules of 
 10.2   Criminal Procedure, a peace officer acting without a warrant who 
 10.3   has decided to proceed with the prosecution of a person for 
 10.4   violating section 169A.20 (driving while impaired), shall arrest 
 10.5   and take the person into custody if the officer has reason to 
 10.6   believe the violation occurred under the circumstances described 
 10.7   in section 169A.24 (first-degree driving while impaired) or 
 10.8   169A.25 (first-degree second-degree driving while impaired).  
 10.9   The person shall be detained until the person's first court 
 10.10  appearance. 
 10.11     Sec. 12.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 169A.63, 
 10.12  subdivision 1, is amended to read:
