House Bill 58 will help deter, prevent and curb drunk driving in Kentucky,” said Angela Criswell. “Requiring ignition interlocks for all convicted drunk drivers is the first step in preventing deaths and injuries due to the 100 percent preventable violent crime of drunk driving.”
Representative Dennis Keene (D-Wilder), the sponsor of House Bill 58, co-sponsors, victims and supporters will rally at the Capitol Rotunda on Thursday February 18, 2010 at 11:30 a.m. in support of passage of the DUI legislation in the full House and Senate. The legislation will require that first-time DUI offenders install an ignition interlock device on their automobile or risk losing their driver’s license. Twelve states already require interlock devices; Kentucky would become the 13th state.
