Hawaii HB115 amends driving under the influence laws to include mandatory financial support for minor children of victims.

Hawaii HB115 amends the state's driving under the influence laws to mandate financial support for minor children of victims if the driver's actions caused the disability or death of a parent or legal guardian. The court must order the defendant to provide financial support to each child until they reach 18 or 19 if still in high school. The court considers various factors in determining the amount of support, including the child's financial needs and resources, the financial resources of the disabled parent or legal guardian, and the standard of living to which the child is accustomed.
