Requires restitution for minor children of victims of driving under the influence causing death.

This bill amends Hawaii law to require courts to order financial restitution for minor children of victims of driving under the influence (DUI) causing death. The restitution must support each child until they turn 18 or 19 if still in high school. The court considers various factors in determining the amount, including the child's financial needs, the surviving parent's resources, and the child's standard of living. Payments are made to the clerk of the court as trustee for remittance to the surviving parent or legal guardian.
