  4.21     Subd. 6.  [DEFINITIONS.] (a) For purposes of this section, 
  4.22  the following terms have the meanings given. 
  4.23     (b) "Staggered sentencing" means a sentencing procedure in 
  4.24  which the court sentences a person convicted of a gross 
  4.25  misdemeanor or felony violation of section 169A.20 (driving 
  4.26  while impaired) to an executed sentence of incarceration in a 
  4.27  local correctional facility, to be served in equal segments in 
  4.28  three or more consecutive years.  Before reporting for any 
  4.29  subsequent segment of incarceration after the first segment, the 
  4.30  offender shall be regularly involved in a structured sobriety 
  4.31  group and may bring a motion before the court requesting to have 
  4.32  that segment of incarceration stayed.  The motion must be 
  4.33  brought before the same judge who initially pronounced the 
  4.34  sentence.  Before bringing the motion, the offender shall 
  4.35  participate for 30 days in a remote electronic 
  4.36  alcohol-monitoring program under the direction of the person's 
  5.1   probation agent.  It is within the court's discretion to stay 
  5.2   the second or subsequent segment of remote electronic alcohol 
  5.3   monitoring or incarceration that has previously been ordered. 
  5.4   The court shall consider any alcohol-monitoring results and the 
  5.5   recommendation of the probation agent, together with any other 
  5.6   factors deemed relevant by the court, in deciding whether to 
  5.7   modify the sentence by ordering a stay of the next following 
  5.8   segment of remote electronic alcohol monitoring or incarceration 
  5.9   that the court had initially ordered to be executed.  When the 
  5.10  court stays a segment of incarceration that it has previously 
  5.11  ordered to be executed, that portion of the sentence must be 
  5.12  added to the total number of days the defendant is subject to 
  5.13  serving in custody if the person subsequently violates any of 
  5.14  the conditions of that stay of execution. 
  5.15     (c) A "structured sobriety group" is an organization that 
  5.16  has regular meetings focusing on sobriety and includes, but is 
  5.17  not limited to, Alcoholics Anonymous.

  5.27  the officer has reason to believe that the violation occurred: 
  5.28     (1) under the circumstances described in section 169A.24

  5.31     (2) under the circumstances described in section 169A.26 
  5.32  (third degree driving while impaired) if the person is under the
