Bill > SB208

This bill amends several sections of Kentucky law related to transportation. The key provisions are: 1. It updates language in KRS 186.020 regarding motor vehicle registration requirements, including allowing service members returning from deployment to renew their vehicle registration within 30 days of returning without penalty if the vehicle was stored on a military base during their absence. 2. It amends KRS 189.125 to expand the child passenger safety requirements, including requiring children under 8 years old and between 40-57 inches tall to be secured in a booster seat. It also clarifies that seatbelt non-use cannot be considered contributory negligence in civil trials. 3. It updates KRS 281A.080 to prohibit employers from knowingly allowing commercial vehicle drivers to operate if their license is suspended, revoked, or they are otherwise disqualified or in violation of certain traffic laws. The overall purpose of the bill is to make technical corrections and updates to Kentucky's transportation laws.
