Requires a person convicted of certain alcohol-related vehicular manslaughter or homicide offenses that kill a parent or guardian to pay court-ordered child support to the surviving parent or guardian until the child is 18 and graduates high school (with provisions for arrearages, delayed start if,
the sentencing court shall order such individual to pay restitution in the form of child support to each of such victim's children until each such child reaches the age of eighteen and has graduated from high school
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new section to the vehicle and traffic law that mandates court-ordered child support payments (as restitution) from a defendant convicted of specific alcohol-related vehicular homicide offenses when the victim was a parent or guardian of a minor child. This imposes additional financial obligations on the convicted driver (the paying parent in this context) and extends payments in some cases until arrearages are cleared, which restricts on the custody-support/child-support axis. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
