  • KRS 189.030

    and → During periods when rain, mist, snow, or other precipitation necessitates the use of windshield wipers;

    This change mandates that headlamps be used not only after sunset and before sunrise but also during inclement weather.

  • KRS 189.030

    At such other times as atmospheric conditions render visibility as low as or lower than is ordinarily the case during that period.

    This addition clarifies that headlamps must be used whenever visibility is poor due to atmospheric conditions.

  • On or after the effective date of this Act and prior to January 1, 2023, a person who violates subsection (1)(b) of Section 1 of this Act shall not be issued a uniform citation, but shall instead receive a courtesy warning.

    This provision allows for a courtesy warning rather than a citation for violations related to the new headlamp rule in the specified timeframe.

    This establishes that standard penalties will apply after the courtesy warning period ends.
