home incarceration or otherwise acts on the violation. Time spent in pretrial home incarceration prior to the
violation shall be credited against the maximum term of imprisonment assessed to the defendant upon
conviction for the original charge.
(3) This section shall apply to defendants sentenced on or after July 12, 2012.
