Plan Would Have Convicted Drunk Drivers Pay Child Support to Families

Wisconsin lawmakers are considering a plan that would have convicted drunk drivers pay child support to the families of people who they kill.

Republican State Senator Jesse James says the idea behind Bentley’s Law is to make sure that families are made whole after a tragic death. Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas, and Maine already have Bentley’s Laws on the books. James says Wisconsin could become the next state to create a law that would require drunk drivers to pay child support if they kill a parent in a drunk driving crash.
