Requires orders of restitution to child of parent or guardian killed by drunk driver.
This bill requires courts to order drunk drivers who cause the death of a parent or guardian to pay restitution to the minor child for lost financial support. The restitution must cover the period until the child turns 18 (or 21 if disabled), but the court must ensure payments are made for a minimum of five years. It applies specifically to cases where the driver was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as defined in New Jersey's vehicular homicide statute.
