Ky.: Last chance to help defeat bad "zero-tolerance" DUI bill

In a last ditch effort to push the bad "zero-tolerance" DUI bill through the Kentucky Legislature, proponents of SB 5 have now attached this misguided legislation to yet another House bill — HB 315 — in the form of a floor amendment. HB 315 SFA1 now joins HB 369 SFA1 as the vehicle for a horrible proposal that would punish the prior use of controlled substances like marijuana with an automatic DUI conviction, regardless of whether the driver was actually impaired.

Please send your legislators an e-mail opposing these bills.

The most important thing you can do right now is call your state senator and ask him or her to vote "no" on this legislation if it comes up for a vote.

We need as many people as possible calling in opposition to this horrible legislation, so please forward this alert to other Kentuckians who are interested in opposing laws that criminalize innocent citizens. Thank you for supporting the Marijuana Policy Project and all of our allies.
