Any individual who provides proof to the court which has jurisdiction over the issued citation by the date the individual must appear in court or pay any fine for such a violation that the individual held a valid commercial driver's license on the date the citation was issued shall not be guilty of this offense. No court shall suspend the imposition of sentence as to such person nor sentence such person to a fine in lieu of a term of imprisonment, nor shall such person be eligible for parole or probation until he/she has served a minimum of forty-eight (48) consecutive hours of imprisonment, unless as a condition of such parole or probation, such person performs at least ten (10) days involving at least forty (40) hours of community service under the supervision of the court in those jurisdictions which have a recognized program for community service.
