DUI Monitoring Clears House Committee
KENTUCKY....
Under House Bill 58, which the House Appropriations and Revenue Committee approved 22-0 Tuesday, convicted first-time DUI offenders could find themselves having to pass a breathalyzer test each time they start their vehicle. A person convicted of DUI would pay $2 to $3 a day for the breath-alcohol monitoring device which, before starting a car, a person would blow into the ignition lock. If they’re too drunk to drive, the car will fail to start.
