Summary

The bill revises Kentucky's drunk‑driving statutes to add new prohibited conditions, set stricter timing for blood and breath tests, and create presumptions about low blood‑alcohol levels. It applies to all drivers, including those under 21, and establishes escalating fines, jail time and a felony charge for repeat offenders. The changes also limit the use of prescription drug evidence and give judges discretion for community‑service alternatives.
