In Michigan, a conviction for operating with the presence of a controlled substance will result in a 30-day hard suspension and a 150-day restricted license for a first offense or if the person has no prior convictions within seven years.
For a second conviction in Michigan within seven years results in a one-year revocation with subsequent offenses resulting in a five-year revocation.
In Michigan, courts are still required to order the Michigan Secretary of State to impose license sanctions for drug convictions unlike in DUI cases where the Secretary of State does this automatically. For a first conviction in 7 years, the court will suspend the license for 6 months but may issue a restricted license after 30 days. A second conviction in 7 years will result in the court suspending the license for 1 year and may grant a restricted license after 60 days. License sanctions are waived when a defendant is sentenced to more than 1 year in jail or prison.
If you plead guilty under HYTA or MCL 333.7411, your license may not receive the same suspension if you plead without these programs. Essentially, if the court has not yet considered it a conviction because of these programs, they should not be altering the Michigan Secretary of State to suspend your license, but occasionally the court screws up and they request a suspension.
