Requires drunk driver to pay restitution on behalf of child if parent or guardian is killed by that driver.

This bill (A3360) would require a driver convicted of reckless vehicular homicide while violating New Jersey's DUI laws (R.S.39:4-50) to pay restitution to a minor child if the victim was the child's parent or guardian. It specifically targets cases where drunk driving causes a parent's death, mandating the offender compensate the child for their loss. The restitution would be in addition to any criminal penalties or civil damages. The bill is currently pending before the Assembly Judiciary Committee and has not yet become law.
