A3360

New Jersey A3360 requires a drunk driver convicted of reckless vehicular homicide to pay restitution for the child of a deceased parent or guardian.

New Jersey A3360 mandates that a drunk driver convicted of reckless vehicular homicide must pay restitution on behalf of a child if the child's parent or guardian is killed by the driver. The court must order the defendant to pay financial support for the child until they reach 18 or graduate from high school, or until they reach 21 if they have a mental or physical disability. The financial support must last at least five years. If the defendant is incarcerated, their obligation accrues but they have up to a year after release to start payments.
