AI Summary
This bill amends South Carolina law to require persons convicted of reckless vehicular homicide while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or with prior DUI convictions, whose victims were parents of minor children, to pay restitution in the form of child maintenance to the victims' children until they reach 18 years of age and graduate from high school. The bill also applies a similar requirement for persons convicted of operating a moving water device under the influence of alcohol or drugs when death results, or reckless homicide under the influence. The court will determine the reasonable and necessary amount of child maintenance based on various factors related to the child's needs and the financial resources of the surviving parent or guardian.
