This bill makes several changes to Kentucky's drunk and drugged driving laws. It adds driving on a license that was suspended for a prior DUI as an aggravating factor, extends certain license suspension periods, expands the list of controlled substances covered under DUI law, and sets new requirements around ignition interlock devices, including capping the installation fee at $100 and limiting installation time to three hours. Who it may affect: drivers who have had a prior DUI conviction, people required to use an ignition interlock device, and anyone whose license has been suspended for a DUI-related offense.
