SB384

SB384 mandates restitution for the support of a victim's children until they reach majority or twenty-three if in full-time education.

SB384 amends Hawaii law to require restitution for the support of a victim's surviving minor children until they reach the age of eighteen, or twenty-three if enrolled in full-time education. The court determines the amount and conditions of this support, which is paid to the person responsible for raising the children. The bill ensures that the financial responsibility for the victim's children falls on the perpetrator, not the family or society. This Act does not affect any rights, duties, penalties, or proceedings that occurred before its effective date.
