1. A person is guilty of trafficking in or furnishing counterfeit drugs if the person intentionally or knowingly trafficks in or furnishes a substance that the person represents to be a scheduled drug but that in fact is not a scheduled drug but is capable of causing death or serious bodily injury when taken or administered in the customary or intended manner.
2. Trafficking in or furnishing counterfeit drugs is a Class C crime.
3. If a person uses a motor vehicle to facilitate the trafficking or furnishing of a counterfeit drug, the court may, in addition to other authorized penalties, suspend the person's driver's license, permit, privilege to operate a motor vehicle or right to apply for or obtain a license for a period not to exceed 5 years. A suspension may not begin until after any period of incarceration is served. If the court suspends a person's driver's license, permit, privilege to operate a motor vehicle or right to apply for or obtain a license, the court shall notify the Secretary of State of the suspension. The Secretary of State may not reinstate the person's driver's license, permit, privilege to operate a motor vehicle or right to apply for or obtain a license unless the person demonstrates that, after having been released and discharged from any period of incarceration that may have been ordered, the person has served the period of suspension ordered by the court.
