  1.6   BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA: 
  1.7      Section 1.  Minnesota Statutes 1996, section 152.01, 
  1.8   subdivision 16a, is amended to read: 
  1.9      Subd. 16a.  [SUBSEQUENT CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE CONVICTION.] 
  1.10  "Subsequent controlled substance conviction" means that before 
  1.11  commission of the offense for which the person is convicted 
  1.12  under this chapter, the person received a disposition under 
  1.13  section 152.18, subdivision 1, or the person was convicted in 
  1.14  Minnesota of a felony violation of this chapter or a 
  1.15  felony-level attempt or conspiracy to violate this chapter, or 
  1.16  convicted elsewhere for conduct that would have been a felony 
  1.17  under this chapter if committed in Minnesota.  An earlier 
  1.18  conviction, as defined in this subdivision, is not relevant if
