Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would establish a specific measurable limit for the amount of THC, the active compound in marijuana, in a person's blood that would legally count as driving under the influence. Currently, Kentucky law does not set a fixed THC threshold for impaired driving the way it does for alcohol. Setting this limit would change how DUI cases involving marijuana are prosecuted in the state. Who it may affect: drivers, law enforcement, and prosecutors across Kentucky.
