21.6 	Notwithstanding the statutory maximum penalty otherwise applicable to the offense, the

24.20 	in subdivision 2, 3, 3a, or 4, if a person is convicted under sections 609.342 to 609.345 or

24.25 	the sentence imposed under this subdivision only if it finds that a professional assessment 
24.26 	indicates the offender is accepted by and can respond to treatment at a long-term inpatient 
24.27 	program exclusively treating sex offenders and approved by the commissioner of corrections.
