            |  | the defendant's residence is the residence on the defendant's voter | 
         
            |  | registration certificate.  If the defendant is not registered to |

            |  | (A)  suspend the defendant's driver's license or | 
         
            |  | permit for a period not to exceed six months or, if the defendant | 
         
            |  | does not have a license or permit, to deny the issuance of a license | 
         
            |  | or permit to the defendant for that period; or | 
         
            |  | (B)  if the defendant has been previously |

            |  | conservator, or guardian of the defendant to do any act or refrain | 
         
            |  | from doing any act if the court determines that doing the act or | 
         
            |  | refraining from doing the act will increase the likelihood that the | 
         
            |  | defendant will present evidence to the court that the defendant has | 
         
            |  | satisfactorily completed an alcohol awareness program or performed | 
         
            |  | the required hours of community service. |
