Prior conviction; procedure for use as element of offense charged.

Changed the title and language from 'prior conviction' to 'prior adjudication, conviction, or status' to broaden the types of prior records that can be used as elements of an offense.

Added a new subsection B that specifically addresses cases where proof of a prior adjudication, conviction, or status makes otherwise legal conduct illegal, including specific drug-related offenses.

Added a new subsection C clarifying that if a defendant fails to make a motion 10 days prior to trial, the prior record will be submitted to the jury for determination.

Added a new subsection D allowing the court to permit a motion to be made less than 10 days prior to trial under certain conditions, with potential for continuance.

Updated language throughout to refer to 'prior adjudication or conviction' rather than just 'prior conviction,' and added references to juvenile delinquency adjudications.
