4-A. If the State pleads and proves that, at the time any
crime, excluding murder, under chapter 9, 11, 13 or 27 was
committed, the defendant had been convicted of 2 or more
crimes violating chapter 9, 11, 13 or 27 or essentially
similar crimes in other jurisdictions, the sentencing class

In the case of a Class A crime, the sentencing class is not

sentence, except that, for the purposes of this subsection,
for violations under chapter 11, the dates of prior
convictions may have occurred at any time.
