Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a requirement that a defendant who kills a parent by DWI must pay child support to the children until age 18 and expands eligibility for state crime-victim compensation to include such monthly child-support awards until age 18; both provisions increase obligations on the convicted (non-custodial) parent, so custody-support/child-support restricts.
