Increases penalty for reckless vehicular homicide committed when driving while intoxicated under certain circumstances.

This bill increases penalties for causing death while driving recklessly under the influence of alcohol or drugs. It upgrades reckless vehicular homicide from a second-degree to a first-degree crime when the driver was intoxicated near schools (within 1,000 feet of school property or school crossings), or while driving through highway construction zones. The law removes defenses based on the driver not knowing about school zones or construction areas at the time of the offense. This applies specifically to drivers convicted of causing death while operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs in these high-risk locations.
