1. Commits a violation of section 28‑1381, section 28‑1382 or this section while the person's driver license or privilege to drive is suspended, canceled, revoked or refused or while a restriction is placed on the person's driver license or privilege to drive as a result of violating section 28‑1381 or 28‑1382 or under section 28‑1385.
2. Within a period of eighty-four months commits a third or subsequent violation of section 28‑1381, section 28‑1382 or this section or is convicted of a violation of section 28‑1381, section 28‑1382 or this section and has previously been convicted of any combination of convictions of section 28‑1381, section 28‑1382 or this section or acts in another jurisdiction that if committed in this state would be a violation of section 28‑1381, section 28‑1382 or this section.
3. While a person under fifteen years of age is in the vehicle, commits a violation of either:
(a) Section 28‑1381.

B. The dates of the commission of the offenses are the determining factor in applying the eighty-four month provision provided in subsection A, paragraph 2 of this section regardless of the sequence in which the offenses were committed. For the purposes of this section, a third or subsequent violation for which a conviction occurs does not include a conviction for an offense arising out of the same series of acts. The time that a probationer is found to be on absconder status or the time that a person is incarcerated in any state, federal, county or city jail or correctional facility is excluded when determining the eighty-four month period provided in subsection A, paragraph 2 and subsection E of this section.
C. The notice to a person of the suspension, cancellation, revocation or refusal of a driver license or privilege to drive is effective as provided in section 28‑3318 or pursuant to the laws of the state issuing the license.
D. A person is not eligible for probation, pardon, commutation or suspension of sentence or release on any other basis until the person has served not less than four months in prison if the person is convicted under either of the following:

2. Subsection A, paragraph 2 of this section and within an eighty‑four month period has been convicted of two prior violations of section 28‑1381, section 28‑1382 or this section, or any combination of those sections, or acts in another jurisdiction that if committed in this state would be a violation of section 28‑1381, section 28‑1382 or this section.
E.

In addition, the court may order the person to equip any motor vehicle the person operates with a certified ignition interlock device for more than twenty‑four months beginning on the date of reinstatement of the person's driving privilege following a suspension or revocation or on the date of the department's receipt of the report of conviction, whichever occurs later. The person who operates a motor vehicle with a certified ignition interlock device under this paragraph shall comply with article 5 of this chapter.
2. In addition to any other penalty prescribed by law, shall order the person to pay an additional assessment of two hundred fifty dollars.

The person who operates a motor vehicle with a certified ignition interlock device under this subsection shall comply with article 5 of this chapter.
M. The sheriff of a county with a population of less than five hundred thousand persons may establish an aggravated driving under the influence jail program. If the sheriff establishes an aggravated driving under the influence jail program, the program may not be implemented until the state department of corrections enters into an agreement with the county board of supervisors pursuant to section 31‑234 to facilitate the program. Notwithstanding subsections D and E of this section, if the violation occurs in a county that has established and implemented an aggravated driving under the influence jail program or in a county that is contiguous to a county that has established and implemented an aggravated driving under the influence jail program and the person is placed on probation, the mandatory term of incarceration that the person would otherwise serve in prison may be served in the jail of the county that established and implemented the program.
