“Senator Ray S. Jones, II wants lawmakers in Kentucky to consider amending KRS 189A.010 to establish a per se violation of the DUI statute if the driver has at least a certain amount of a controlled substance in the blood; create a defense if the person took the controlled substance in compliance with a valid prescription; reduce the required alcohol concentration for an aggravating circumstance from 0.18 to 0.15; and amend KRS 189A.105 to lower the alcohol percentage from 0.18 to 0.15 for increased penalties.”
