     609.145 Credit for prior imprisonment. 

    Subdivision 1.    Prior imprisonment reduction.  When a person 
 has been imprisoned pursuant 
 to a conviction which is set aside and is thereafter convicted 
 of a crime growing out of the same act or omission, the period 
 of imprisonment to which the person is sentenced is reduced by 
 the period of the prior imprisonment and the time earned thereby 
 in diminution of sentence. 

    Subd. 2.    Reduction for time served before commitment to 
 commissioner.  A sentence of imprisonment upon conviction of a 
 felony is reduced by the period of confinement of the defendant 
 following the conviction and before the defendant's commitment 
 to the commissioner of corrections for execution of sentence 
 unless the court otherwise directs. 

    Subd. 3.    Credit.  When a person is to be committed to 
 the commissioner, the person's probation officer must provide to 
 the court, prior to the sentencing hearing, the amount of time 
 the person has in credit for prior imprisonment.  The court must 
 pronounce credit for prior imprisonment at the time of 
 sentencing.
