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

This bill requires individuals convicted of driving under the influence to pay child support if their offense causes the death of a child's parent or guardian. The support obligation applies until the child turns 18 or graduates high school, whichever comes later, and begins accruing from the date of the parent's death. Courts can calculate payments using existing child support guidelines or determine a reasonable amount based on the child's needs, the surviving parent's resources, and the standard of living the child would have had. The law includes provisions for income withholding to enforce payments and allows a one-year grace period for incarcerated offenders to begin paying after release.
