This bill proposes to update current statutes by removing the existing cap on restitution awards related to serious physical injury or death caused by a moving violation. Under current law, restitution awarded for such violations is limited to $100,000. The bill would eliminate this cap, allowing for potentially higher restitution amounts to be awarded based on the circumstances of each case.

Additionally, the bill makes conforming changes to ensure consistency within the statutes. It also updates the terminology used in the law by replacing "veterans administration" with "united states department of veterans affairs" in the context of deferral periods for educational benefits. These changes aim to modernize the language and improve clarity in the statutes while enhancing the legal framework surrounding restitution for serious moving violations.
