The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 207, seeks to amend chapter 952 of the general statutes to allow courts to mandate financial restitution from individuals who cause the death of another person while operating a motor vehicle under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs. Specifically, the bill stipulates that these individuals may be required to provide financial support to the surviving spouse or other relatives of the deceased, specifically for the benefit of the deceased's children, until those children reach the age of eighteen.

The key insertion in the bill is the provision that enables courts to order such restitution payments, while there are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text. The intent of the bill is to ensure that families affected by the loss of a loved one due to impaired driving receive necessary financial support, particularly for the upbringing of minor children left behind.
