| (a) Except when the death penalty is
sought under hearing | 9 |

However, | 11 |

| provision of a local
ordinance, the individual must undergo a | 15 |
| professional evaluation to
determine if an alcohol or other | 16 |

of such a problem. | 17 |
| Programs conducting these evaluations shall be
licensed by the | 18 |
| Department of Human Services. However, if the individual is

may, in its discretion, | 20 |
| accept an evaluation from a program in the state of
such | 21 |
| individual's residence. The court may in its sentencing order | 22 |

| following:
| 9 |
| "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of | 10 |

| case,
the defendant is entitled to no more than 4 1/2 days of | 16 |

If the defendant is currently serving in the Armed | 9 |
| Forces of the United States or is a veteran of the Armed Forces | 10 |
| of the United States and has been diagnosed as having a mental | 11 |
