     169A.277 Long-term monitoring. 

    Subdivision 1.    Applicability.  This section applies 
 to a person convicted of: 

    (1) a violation of section 169A.20 (driving while impaired) 
 within ten years of the first of two or more prior impaired 
 driving convictions; 

    (2) a violation of section 169A.20, if the person is under 
 the age of 19 years and has previously been convicted of 
 violating section 169A.20 or Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 
 169.121 (driver under the influence of alcohol or controlled 
 substance); or 

    (3) a violation of section 169A.20, while the person's 
 driver's license or driving privileges have been canceled under 
 section 171.04, subdivision 1, clause (10) (persons not eligible 
 for drivers' licenses, inimical to public safety). 

    Subd. 2.    Monitoring required.  When the court 
 sentences a person described in subdivision 1 to a stayed 
 sentence and when electronic monitoring equipment is available 
 to the court, the court shall require that the person 
 participate in a program of electronic alcohol monitoring in 
 addition to any other conditions of probation or jail time it 
 imposes.  During the first one-third of the person's 
 probationary term, the electronic alcohol monitoring must be 
 continuous and involve measurements of the person's alcohol 
 concentration at least three times a day.  During the remainder 
 of the person's probationary term, the electronic alcohol 
 monitoring may be intermittent, as determined by the court.  

    Subd. 3.    Reimbursement.  The court shall require 
 partial or total reimbursement from the person for the cost of 
 the electronic alcohol monitoring, to the extent the person is 
 able to pay.
