The Kentucky General Assembly approved a bill last Friday which added penalties for some Kentucky DUI charges. The bill now goes to Gov. Steve Beshear.
The penalties inside Senate Bill 34 include a provision to lower the blood-alcohol level for which someone could be charged with aggravated DUI from 0.18 to 0.15, and requires those convicted of an aggravated DUI to use an ignition interlock device for six months on the first offense, 12 months for a second offense, and 30 months for a third offense within five years. Furthermore, an ignition interlock device must be used by individuals granted hardship licenses.
