(1) If a person has been detained in police custody or has been arrested, an interpreter
shall be provided prior to any interrogation or taking of a statement from the person <br>if the court determines he meets the criteria set forth in KRS 30A.410.
(2) Any statement made by a person who is entitled to the services of an interpreter
under subsection (1) of this section to a law enforcement officer may be used as <br>evidence against that person only if the statement was made, offered, or elicited in <br>the presence of a qualified interpreter. This subsection shall not deny a person the <br>right to make a voluntary confession.
(3) If the eligibility of the individual for an interpreter is challenged, the judge may, on
good cause shown, hold a hearing to determine the bona fide need for interpreter <br>services.
