in the case of a Class C crime, of at least 6 months, of which 14 | | days may not be suspended, and may order the actor to attend an | | abuser education program approved by the court. For purposes of | | this subsection, the dates of both of the prior convictions must | | precede the commission of the offense being enhanced by no more | | than 10 years, although both prior convictions may have occurred on | | the same day. Stalking is not a Class C crime if the commission of | | the 2 prior offenses occurred within a 3-day period. The date of | | the conviction is determined to be the date that the sentence is | | imposed, even though an appeal was taken. The date of a commission | | of a prior offense is presumed to be that stated in the complaint, | | information, indictment or other formal charging instrument, | | notwithstanding the use of the words "on or about" or the | | equivalent. |

If a juvenile client is or becomes 18 years of | | age while still under commitment, the statutory guardianship of | | the commissioner over the juvenile client terminates, but the | | juvenile client remains subject to the control of the | | commissioner, staff and rules of the center until the expiration | | of the period of commitment or until discharge from the center. |
