2000 Minnesota Statutes

     169A.47 Notice of enhanced penalty. 

    When a court sentences a person for a violation of sections 
 169A.20 to 169A.31 (impaired driving offenses), it shall inform 
 the defendant of the statutory provisions that provide for 
 enhancement of criminal penalties for repeat violators, and the 
 provisions that provide for administrative plate impoundment and 
 forfeiture of motor vehicles used to commit an impaired driving 
 offense.  The notice must describe the conduct and the time 
 periods within which the conduct must occur in order to result 
 in increased penalties, plate impoundment, or forfeiture.  The 
 failure of a court to provide this information to a defendant 
 does not affect the future applicability of these enhanced 
 penalties to that defendant.
