Crimes and offenses; manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, and other motor vehicle crimes amended, restitution amended

Summary

The bill adds a broader definition of manslaughter, including reckless driving, heat‑of‑passion killings, and selling fentanyl that leads to death, and it upgrades the crime of criminally negligent homicide when it involves a vehicle violation. It also changes the classification of motor‑vehicle offenses so that deaths or serious injuries result in higher‑level felonies. The changes aim to increase accountability for drivers and drug sellers and to provide clearer restitution rights for victims.
