(A) For any offense defined in this chapter in which a second or greater offense calls for a higher penalty than the first offense during a specified period, the date the offense was charged or cited on a uniform citation or, in the absence of a uniform citation, then the date of issuance of a warrant or summons issued by the court shall be used to calculate the period.
(B) If for any reason division (A) of this section is held to be unconstitutional, then the time shall start on the day of the conviction of the prior offense.
