No person shall operate or be in physical control of a motor vehicle while his
license is revoked or suspended under KRS 189A.010(6), 189A.070,
189A.107, 189A.200, or 189A.220, or operate or be in physical control of a
motor vehicle without a functioning ignition interlock device in violation of KRS
189A.345(1).
In addition to any other penalty imposed by the court, any person who violates
subsection (1) of this section shall:
(a) For a first offense within a five (5) year period, be guilty of a Class B
misdemeanor and have his license revoked by the court for six (6)
months, unless at the time of the offense the person was also operating
or in physical control of a motor vehicle in violation of KRS
189A.010(1)(a), (b), (c), (d), or (e), in which event he shall be guilty of a
Class A misdemeanor and have his license revoked by the court for a
period of one (1) year;
(b) For a second offense within a five (5) year period, be guilty of a Class A
misdemeanor and have his license revoked by the court for one (1) year,
unless at the time of the offense the person was also operating or in
physical control of a motor vehicle in violation of KRS 189A.010(1)(a), (b),
(c), (d), or (e), in which event he shall be guilty of a Class D felony and
have his license revoked by the court for a period of two (2) years;
(c) For a third or subsequent offense within a five (5) year period, be guilty of
a Class D felony and have his license revoked by the court for two (2)
years, unless at the time of the offense the person was also operating or
in physical control of a motor vehicle in violation of KRS 189A.010(1)(a),
(b), (c), (d), or (e), in which event he shall be guilty of a Class D felony
and have his license revoked by the court for a period of five (5) years.
The five (5) year period under this section shall be measured in the same
manner as in KRS 189A.070.
After one (1) year of the period of revocation provided for in subsection (2)(b)
or (c) of this section has elapsed, a person whose license has been revoked
pursuant to either of those subsections may move the court to have an ignition
interlock device installed for the remaining portion of the period of revocation.
The court may, upon a written finding in the record for good cause shown,
order an ignition interlock device installed if the following conditions are
satisfied:
(a) The person shall not operate a motor vehicle or motorcycle without an
ignition interlock device as provided for in KRS 189A.340(2);
(b) The person shall not operate a motor vehicle or motorcycle at any other
time and for any other purposes than those specified by the court; and
(c) The ignition interlock device shall be installed on the motor vehicle or
motorcycle for a period of time not less than the period of revocation
required for the person under subsection (2)(b) or (c) of this section.
Upon a finding of a violation of any of the conditions specified in subsection (4)
of this section or of the order permitting the installation of an ignition interlock
device in lieu of the remaining period of revocation that is issued pursuant
thereto, the court shall dissolve such an order and the person shall receive no
credit toward the remaining period of revocation required under subsection
(2)(b) or (c) of this section.
