Mississippi HB57 requires DUI offenders to pay child support for any children of victims killed in the incident.
Mississippi House Bill 57 amends the state's DUI laws to include a requirement for convicted offenders to pay child support to the children of any person killed as a result of the DUI incident. The court must order restitution to be paid monthly for the support of the child until the child reaches the age of 18 or has otherwise become self-sufficient. The amount of restitution is determined by considering various factors, including the financial needs and resources of the child and the surviving parent or guardian.
