  5.1      (2) eight hours of community work service for each day less

  5.5   of sentence), the penalties in this paragraph must be executed, 
  5.6   unless the court departs from the mandatory minimum sentence

  5.8      (b) Prior to sentencing, the prosecutor may file a motion 
  5.9   to have a defendant described in paragraph (a) sentenced without 
  5.10  regard to the mandatory minimum sentence established by that 
  5.11  paragraph.  The motion must be accompanied by a statement on the 
  5.12  record of the reasons for it.  When presented with the 
  5.13  prosecutor's motion and if it finds that substantial mitigating 
  5.14  factors exist, the court shall sentence the defendant without 
  5.15  regard to the mandatory minimum sentence established by 
  5.16  paragraph (a).  
  5.17     (c) The court may, on its own motion, sentence a defendant 
  5.18  described in paragraph (a) without regard to the mandatory 
  5.19  minimum sentence established by that paragraph if it finds that

  5.25  ordered to participate in a program established under section 
  5.26  169A.74 (pilot programs of intensive probation for repeat DWI 
  5.27  offenders). 
  5.28     (d) When any portion of the sentence required by paragraph

  5.30  proportional to the extent of the offender's prior criminal and 
  5.31  moving traffic violation record.  Any sentence required under 
  5.32  paragraph (a) must include a mandatory sentence that is not 
  5.33  subject to suspension or a stay of imposition or execution, and 
  5.34  that includes incarceration for not less than 48 consecutive 
  5.35  hours or at least 80 hours of community work service. 
  5.36     Subd. 2.  [THIRD OFFENSE.] (a) The court shall sentence a 
  6.1   person who is convicted of a violation of section 169A.20 
  6.2   (driving while impaired) within ten years of the first of two 
  6.3   qualified prior impaired driving incidents to either: 
  6.4      (1) a minimum of 90 days of incarceration, at least 30 days 
  6.5   of which must be served consecutively in a local correctional 
  6.6   facility; or 
  6.7      (2) a program of intensive supervision of the type 
  6.8   described in section 169A.74 (pilot programs of intensive 
  6.9   probation for repeat DWI offenders) that requires the person to

  6.11  facility.  
  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. 
  6.16     (c) Notwithstanding section 609.135, the penalties in this 
  6.17  subdivision must be imposed and executed. 
  6.18     Subd. 3.  [FOURTH OFFENSE.] (a) Unless the court commits 
  6.19  the person to the custody of the commissioner of corrections as 
  6.20  provided in section 169A.276 (mandatory penalties; felony 
  6.21  violations), the court shall sentence a person who is convicted 
  6.22  of a violation of section 169A.20 (driving while impaired) 
  6.23  within ten years of the first of three qualified prior impaired 
  6.24  driving incidents to either: 
  6.25     (1) a minimum of 180 days of incarceration, at least 30 
  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 
  6.31  consecutively serve at least six days in a local correctional 
  6.32  facility.  
  6.33     (b) The court may order that the person serve not more than 
  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) When the court commits a person to the custody of the 
  8.14  commissioner of corrections under this subdivision, it shall 
  8.15  require the commissioner to release the person before completion 
  8.16  of the person's term of imprisonment if the person: 
  8.17     (1) has served at least one-third of the executed sentence, 
  8.18  plus any disciplinary confinement time imposed for violating the 
  8.19  commissioner's rules or orders; and 
  8.20     (2) has successfully completed a chemical dependency 
  8.21  treatment program while in prison.  
  8.22  The chemical dependency treatment program described in clause (2)
  8.23  must meet the licensing standards contained in sections 245A.01 
  8.24  to 245A.06 (human services licensing). 
  8.25     (d) The court also shall provide that the commissioner may 
  8.26  release a person described in paragraph (c) up to 150 days 
  8.27  before having served one-third of the executed sentence if the 
  8.28  commissioner places the person in a productive day program 
  8.29  described in paragraph (i) administered or approved by the 
  8.30  commissioner for the remainder of the first one-third of the 
  8.31  executed sentence. 
  8.32     (e) A person who is granted release under paragraph (c) or 
  8.33  (d) shall serve the entire conditional release term imposed 
  8.34  under paragraph (g). 
  8.35     (f) Notwithstanding section 244.05 or any other law to the 
  8.36  contrary, a person who is committed to the custody of the 
  9.1   commissioner of corrections under this subdivision and who is 
  9.2   not released under paragraph (c) or (d), shall serve one-third 
  9.3   of the executed sentence in prison.  The person may be required 
  9.4   to serve up to an additional one-third of the executed sentence 
  9.5   in prison in disciplinary confinement time added for violating 
  9.6   the commissioner's rules or orders.  At the conclusion of the 
  9.7   person's imprisonment, the commissioner shall transfer the 
  9.8   person to the local corrections agency in the county where the 
  9.9   offender was convicted for incarceration in a local jail or 
  9.10  workhouse for 180 days, subject to section 643.29.  Following 
  9.11  incarceration at the jail or workhouse, the commissioner shall 
  9.12  place the person on supervised release for the remainder of the 
  9.13  executed sentence.  If the person violates supervised release, 
  9.14  the commissioner may revoke the person's supervised release and 
  9.15  order the person to serve all or part of the remaining portion 
  9.16  of the supervised release term in the jail or workhouse. 
  9.17     (g) Notwithstanding the statutory maximum sentence provided 
  9.18  in section 169A.24 (first-degree driving while impaired), when 
  9.19  the court commits a person to the custody of the commissioner of 
  9.20  corrections under this subdivision, it shall provide that after 
  9.21  the person has been released from incarceration the commissioner 
  9.22  shall place the person on conditional release for five years.  
  9.23  The commissioner shall impose any conditions of release that the 
  9.24  commissioner deems appropriate including, but not limited to, 
  9.25  successful completion of an intensive probation program as 
  9.26  described in section 169A.74 (pilot programs of intensive 
  9.27  probation for repeat DWI offenders).  If the person fails to 
  9.28  comply with any condition of release during a period that the 
  9.29  person is not also under supervised release under paragraph (f), 
  9.30  the commissioner may revoke the person's conditional release and 
  9.31  order the person to serve all or part of the remaining portion 
  9.32  of the conditional release term in prison.  If the person fails 
  9.33  to comply with any condition of release during a period that the 
  9.34  person is under supervised release under paragraph (f), the 
  9.35  provisions of paragraph (f) apply.  In addition, upon the 
  9.36  expiration of the supervised release term, the commissioner may 
 10.1   require that the person be transferred to a prison to serve all 
 10.2   or part of the remaining portion of the conditional release term 
 10.3   in prison.  The commissioner may not dismiss the person from 
 10.4   supervision before the conditional release term expires.  Except 
 10.5   as otherwise provided in this section, conditional release is 
 10.6   governed by provisions relating to supervised release. 
 10.7      (h) The failure of a court to comply with the provisions of 
 10.8   paragraphs (c), (d), and (g), relating to the conditions and 
 10.9   timing of an offender's release, does not affect the 
 10.10  applicability of those paragraphs to the offender. 
 10.11     (i) The commissioner shall require persons placed in a 
 10.12  productive day program under paragraph (d) and persons placed on 
 10.13  supervised or conditional release under this subdivision to pay 
 10.14  as much of the costs of the program as possible.  The 
 10.15  commissioner shall develop appropriate standards for this.  As 
 10.16  used in this paragraph, a productive day program must be modeled 
 10.17  on a work release program and require that the person work in a 
 10.18  paying job for at least 40 hours a week.  The person must be 
 10.19  supervised during this period.  The person must be returned to a 
 10.20  secure facility after the work is completed.  The commissioner 
 10.21  shall attempt, but is not required, to place persons in 
 10.22  productive day programs in areas near where they lived before 
 10.23  conviction. 
 10.24     Subd. 2.  [STAY OF MANDATORY SENTENCE.] The provisions of 
 10.25  sections 169A.275 (mandatory penalties; nonfelony violations),
