Child support; to require an individual convicted of driving under the influence to pay child support for the child of a victim under certain circumstances

Summary

The bill adds a new penalty for people convicted of driving while under the influence when the offense kills a child’s parent or guardian. Those offenders would be ordered to pay child support until the child turns 18 or graduates high school, whichever is later. It aims to provide financial support for children left without a caregiver due to a DUI‑related death.
