Motor vehicles; certain convictions of homicide by vehicle when operating such vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs; require restitution

Summary

The bill adds a restitution requirement for people convicted of first‑degree vehicle homicide while driving under the influence, when the deceased was a parent or guardian of a minor. Courts must order payments that support each surviving child until they turn 18 or finish high school, using a set of factors to determine the amount. Restitution is not ordered if a civil judgment has already been made.
