§ 468.110. Driver improvement clinics.

(a) In conjunction with or in lieu of other penalties provided by law for violation of this chapter, the trial court may in its judgment of conviction order the convicted person to attend and satisfactorily complete a course of study at an approved driver improvement clinic, as defined by, and established pursuant to Minnesota Statutes. Any person who fails to comply with such an order may be adjudged in contempt of court. The requirement of attendance at a driver improvement clinic is not a fine, imprisonment or sentence within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 609.02. The court may not order a convicted person to attend a driver improvement clinic which is located more than twenty (20) miles from the person's residence. For the purposes of this section, "an approved driver improvement clinic" means a clinic whose curriculum and mode of instruction conform to standards promulgated by the commissioner.

(b)

The course of study at a driver improvement clinic may not exceed the cumulative total of hours provided by Minnesota Statutes, and no single class session shall last longer than the maximum time provided by Minnesota Statutes. (Code 1960, As Amend., § 425.091)
