Summary

The bill revises Kentucky’s DUI law to make it illegal to drive with a blood‑alcohol level of 0.08% or higher, to drive while under the influence of any impairing drug, and to drive with a BAC of 0.02% or higher if the driver is under 21. It also limits when breath or blood test results can be used in court and creates a step‑up schedule of fines, jail time, community labor, and eventually felony charges for repeat offenders. The changes are intended to strengthen enforcement and clarify consequences for impaired driving.
