1. “(m) Notwithstanding any other provision in this act, any person, not a registrant, who possesses, sells, delivers, offers for sale, holds for sale or gives away any controlled substance, in addition to any other penalty provided in this or any act, upon conviction for a violation of this act, shall have his or her operating privilege suspended. The clerk of any court of this Commonwealth, within ten days after final judgment of conviction for violations of this act requiring suspension under this section, shall send to the Department of Transportation a record of the conviction on a form provided by the Department of Transportation. When the Department of Transporta tion suspends the operating privilege of a person under this subsection, the duration of the suspension shall be as follows: (1) For a first offense, a period of 90 days from the date of suspension. (2) For a second offense, a period of one year from the date of suspension. (3) For a third offense, and any offense thereafter, a period of two years from the date of suspension.
