Summary
The bill lets a judge require a driver convicted of killing someone in a vehicle to pay money to the deceased’s child until the child turns 18. Payments are calculated from the parent’s lost earnings and can be collected through civil judgments, work‑release wages, or court‑approved payment plans. It also sets rules for indigent offenders and how the restitution is enforced.
