  4.20  section 169.129 and the prior sentence involved a separate 
  4.21  behavioral incident.  The court also may order that the sentence 
  4.22  imposed for a violation of this section or section 169.129 shall 
  4.23  run consecutively to a previously imposed misdemeanor, gross 
  4.24  misdemeanor or felony sentence for a violation other than this 
  4.25  section or section 169.129.  
  4.26     (g) (h) When the court stays the sentence of a person 
  4.27  convicted under this section, the length of the stay is governed 
  4.28  by section 609.135, subdivision 2. 
  4.29     (h) (i) The court may impose consecutive sentences for 
  4.30  offenses arising out of a single course of conduct as permitted

  5.6      (k) (l) A violation of subdivision 1a may be prosecuted 
  5.7   either in the jurisdiction where the arresting officer observed

  7.18  prosecutor's motion and if it finds that substantial mitigating 
  7.19  factors exist, the court shall sentence the defendant without 
  7.20  regard to the mandatory minimum sentence established by 
  7.21  paragraph (b).

  7.23  defendant described in paragraph (b) without regard to the 
  7.24  mandatory minimum sentence established by that paragraph if it 
  7.25  finds that substantial mitigating factors exist and if its 
  7.26  sentencing departure is accompanied by a statement on the record 
  7.27  of the reasons for it.  The court also may sentence the 
  7.28  defendant without regard to the mandatory minimum sentence 
  7.29  established by paragraph (b) if the defendant is sentenced to

  7.32     (h) (f) When any portion of the sentence required by 
  7.33  paragraph (b) is not executed, the court should impose a 
  7.34  sentence that is proportional to the extent of the offender's 
  7.35  prior criminal and moving traffic violation record.  Any 
  7.36  sentence required under paragraph (b) must include a mandatory 
  8.1   sentence that is not subject to suspension or a stay of 
  8.2   imposition or execution, and that includes incarceration for not 
  8.3   less than at least 48 consecutive hours of incarceration or at 
  8.4   least 80 hours of community work service. 
  8.5      Sec. 3.  Minnesota Statutes 1999 Supplement, section 
  8.6   169.1217, subdivision 7, is amended to read: 
  8.7      Subd. 7.  [LIMITATIONS ON FORFEITURE OF MOTOR VEHICLE.] (a) 
  8.8   A vehicle is subject to forfeiture under this section only if: 
  8.9      (1) the driver is convicted of the designated offense upon 
  8.10  which the forfeiture is based; 
  8.11     (2) the driver fails to appear with respect to the 
  8.12  designated offense charge in violation of section 609.49; or 
  8.13     (3) the driver's conduct results in a designated license 
  8.14  revocation and the driver either fails to seek administrative or 
  8.15  judicial review of the revocation in a timely manner as required 
  8.16  by section 169.123, subdivision 5b or 5c, or the revocation is 
  8.17  sustained under section 169.123, subdivision 5b or 6. 
  8.18     (b) A vehicle encumbered by a bona fide security interest, 
  8.19  or subject to a lease that has a term of 180 days or more, is 
  8.20  subject to the interest of the secured party or lessor unless 
  8.21  the party or lessor had knowledge of or consented to the act 
  8.22  upon which the forfeiture is based.  However, when the proceeds 
  8.23  of the sale of a seized vehicle do not equal or exceed the 
  8.24  outstanding loan balance, the appropriate agency shall remit all 
  8.25  proceeds of the sale to the secured party.  If the sale of the 
  8.26  vehicle is conducted in a commercially reasonable manner 
  8.27  consistent with the provisions of section 336.9-504, clause (3), 
  8.28  the agency is not liable to the secured party for any amount 
  8.29  owed on the loan in excess of the sale proceeds if the secured 
  8.30  party received notification of the time and place of the sale at 
  8.31  least three days prior to the sale. 
  8.32     (c) Notwithstanding paragraphs (b) and (d), the secured 
  8.33  party's, lessor's, or owner's interest in a vehicle is not 
  8.34  subject to forfeiture based solely on the secured party's, 
  8.35  lessor's, or owner's knowledge of the act or omission upon which 
  8.36  the forfeiture is based if the secured party, lessor, or owner 
  9.1   took reasonable steps to terminate use of the vehicle by the 
  9.2   offender. 
  9.3      (d) A motor vehicle is subject to forfeiture under this 
  9.4   section only if its owner knew or should have known of the 
  9.5   unlawful use or intended use that the offender did not have a 
  9.6   valid license at the time the offender used the vehicle and if 
  9.7   the owner gave explicit or implicit permission to the offender 
  9.8   to use the vehicle. 
  9.9      (e) A vehicle subject to a security interest, based upon a 
  9.10  loan or other financing arranged by a financial institution, is 
  9.11  subject to the interest of the financial institution.  
  9.12     Sec. 4.  Minnesota Statutes 1999 Supplement, section 
  9.13  169.129, subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
  9.14     Subdivision 1.  [CRIME.] It is a gross misdemeanor crime

  9.18  of this state in violation of section 169.121 or an ordinance in 
  9.19  conformity with it before the person's driver's license or 
  9.20  driving privilege has been reinstated following its 
  9.21  cancellation, suspension, revocation, disqualification, or 
  9.22  denial under any of the following statutes:  
  9.23     (1) section 169.121, 169.1211, or 169.123; 
  9.24     (2) section 171.04, 171.14, 171.16, 171.17, or 171.18

 10.14  offender enter a program of intensive probation supervision that

 10.24  stayed sentence, to refrain from the use of alcohol or drugs, 
 10.25  the probation agent supervising the defendant must immediately 
 10.26  report to the court any information or indication that the 
 10.27  defendant has violated this condition.  As soon as practicable 
 10.28  after receiving the probation agent's report, the court shall 
 10.29  hold a hearing under section 609.14 to determine whether the 
 10.30  defendant used alcohol or drugs in violation of the condition of 
 10.31  the stayed sentence.  If the court finds that the defendant 
 10.32  violated this condition, the court may continue the stay only on 
 10.33  the additional condition that the defendant serve 365 
 10.34  consecutive days of incarceration in a local correctional 
 10.35  facility.  The court must impose this additional condition 
 10.36  unless the court makes written findings regarding the mitigating 
 11.1   factors justifying nonimposition of the condition. 
 11.2      Sec. 7.  Minnesota Statutes 1999 Supplement, section 
 11.3   609.135, subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
 11.4      Subd. 2.  [STAY OF SENTENCE MAXIMUM PERIODS.] (a) Except as 
 11.5   otherwise provided in this paragraph, if the conviction is for a 
 11.6   felony the stay shall be for not more than four years or the 
 11.7   maximum period for which the sentence of imprisonment might have 
 11.8   been imposed, whichever is longer.  If the conviction is for a 
 11.9   felony violation of section 169.121 or 169.129, the stay shall 
 11.10  be for not more than ten years. 
 11.11     (b) If the conviction is for a gross misdemeanor violation 
 11.12  of section 169.121 or 169.129, the stay shall be for not more 
 11.13  than six years.  The court shall provide for unsupervised 
 11.14  probation for the last year of the stay unless the court finds 
 11.15  that the defendant needs supervised probation for all or part of 
 11.16  the last year. 
 11.17     (c) If the conviction is for a gross misdemeanor not 
 11.18  specified in paragraph (b), the stay shall be for not more than 
 11.19  two years. 
 11.20     (d) If the conviction is for any misdemeanor under section 
 11.21  169.121; 609.746, subdivision 1; 609.79; or 617.23; or for a 
 11.22  misdemeanor under section 609.2242 or 609.224, subdivision 1, in 
 11.23  which the victim of the crime was a family or household member 
 11.24  as defined in section 518B.01, the stay shall be for not more 
 11.25  than two years.  The court shall provide for unsupervised 
 11.26  probation for the second year of the stay unless the court finds 
 11.27  that the defendant needs supervised probation for all or part of 
 11.28  the second year. 
 11.29     (e) If the conviction is for a misdemeanor not specified in 
 11.30  paragraph (d), the stay shall be for not more than one year.  
 11.31     (f) The defendant shall be discharged six months after the 
 11.32  term of the stay expires, unless the stay has been revoked or 
 11.33  extended under paragraph (g), or the defendant has already been 
 11.34  discharged. 
 11.35     (g) Notwithstanding the maximum periods specified for stays 
 11.36  of sentences under paragraphs (a) to (f), a court may extend a 
 12.1   defendant's term of probation for up to one year if it finds, at 
 12.2   a hearing conducted under subdivision 1a, that: 
 12.3      (1) the defendant has not paid court-ordered restitution or 
 12.4   a fine in accordance with the payment schedule or structure; and 
 12.5      (2) the defendant is likely to not pay the restitution or 
 12.6   fine the defendant owes before the term of probation expires.  
 12.7   This one-year extension of probation for failure to pay 
 12.8   restitution or a fine may be extended by the court for up to one 
 12.9   additional year if the court finds, at another hearing conducted 
 12.10  under subdivision 1a, that the defendant still has not paid the 
 12.11  court-ordered restitution or fine that the defendant owes. 
 12.12     (h) Notwithstanding the maximum periods specified for stays 
 12.13  of sentences under paragraphs (a) to (f), a court may extend a 
 12.14  defendant's term of probation for up to three years if it finds, 
 12.15  at a hearing conducted under subdivision 1c, that: 
 12.16     (1) the defendant has failed to complete court-ordered 
 12.17  treatment successfully; and 
 12.18     (2) the defendant is likely not to complete court-ordered 
 12.19  treatment before the term of probation expires. 
 12.20     Sec. 8.  [SENTENCING GUIDELINE RANKING OF DWI FELONY.] 
 12.21     The sentencing guidelines commission is requested to leave 
 12.22  felony violations of Minnesota Statutes, sections 169.121 and 
 12.23  169.129, unranked under sentencing guideline II.A.03.  The 
 12.24  commission also is requested to amend the sentencing guidelines 
 12.25  to provide that each felony violation of Minnesota Statutes, 
 12.26  section 169.121 or 169.129, constitutes one criminal history 
 12.27  point. 
 12.28     Sec. 9.  [EFFECTIVE DATE.]
