AN ACT relating to driving under the influence.

Summary

The bill rewrites Kentucky’s drunk‑driving statute to make it illegal for anyone under 21 to have a blood‑alcohol concentration of 0.02 or higher, requires breath or blood tests be taken within two hours of stopping the vehicle, and creates a graduated penalty schedule that rises from fines and short jail terms to a Class D felony for repeat offenders. It applies to anyone operating or controlling a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or both, and limits the use of legal‑use arguments except for prescribed medications.
