Kentucky drivers will be able to purchase specialty license plates aimed at raising awareness of the dangers of fentanyl starting this spring, according to a recent announcement from the office of the Kentucky Senate Transportation Chair, Jimmy Higdon (R-Lebanon).
The new license plates will cost $44, $10 of which will go to The Never Alone Nick Rucker Foundation, a nonprofit aimed at increasing fentanyl awareness and education as well as working to “change laws related to drug-induced homicide.”
“We began our nonprofit organization after our children, Nick Rucker, forever 24, and Chase Linton, forever 30, were killed by illicit fentanyl after unknowingly ingesting it, believing the pills they consumed were pharmaceutical products, in 2021,” said Angela Parkerson and Tami Bolitt, who started the foundation in 2022.
