Kentucky will increase its law enforcement presence around the state's lakes and rivers from July 3-5 as a reminder not to boat under the influence. Impaired boating is a leading contributor to recreational boating deaths. "We've seen a surge in the number of boaters - and especially, inexperienced boaters - in the past few months. We're expecting heavy boater traffic during the holiday," said Col. Eric Gibson, director of law enforcement for Kentucky Fish and Wildlife. "We want to ensure that all boaters have a safe experience while they're enjoying Kentucky's waters."

By Naitore Djigbenou/Chuck Wolfe Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Thursday announced changes to a previously issued official order that temporarily granted a 90-day extension for select driver and motor vehicle documentation that expired while local and state government issuance offices were closed due to COVID-19. Provisions under official orders authorizing circuit court clerks to accept driver's license renewal applications remotely were also extended for an additional three months. "This order clearly defines the end of the grace period for expired credentials and supports safe ways Kentuckians with looming expiration dates can maintain valid credentials and documentation that keep them on the move," said Gov. Beshear. "With the gradual reopening of government services, the original intentions of the 90-day extension have been fulfilled as more and more offices resume operations."
