Bill > HB114

This bill, the DUI and Child Compensation and Recovery Act, requires individuals convicted of driving while under the influence (DUI) who cause the death of a child's parent or guardian to pay child support for the child until the child reaches 19 years of age. The child support amount can be determined based on the financial needs and resources of the child and surviving parent or guardian, the child's standard of living, and other factors. The support payments will accrue from the date of the parent or guardian's death, and the individual will be subject to income withholding orders to ensure payment. If the individual is incarcerated and unable to pay, they will have up to one year after release to begin payments, including any arrears.
