This bill mandates that individuals convicted of offenses leading to the incapacitation or death of a victim who is a parent or guardian of a minor child must pay restitution in the form of child support. The court is required to order the defendant to provide reasonable and necessary support for each minor child until they reach 18 years of age and graduate from high school. The court will consider various factors when determining the amount of support, including the child's age, financial needs, the resources of the surviving parent or guardian, and the child's standard of living and educational needs.

Additionally, the bill outlines that support payments will be enforced as a judgment of restitution and will continue until all arrears are paid. It also specifies that if the victim or their family initiates a civil action against the defendant before the court orders restitution, the restitution will not be ordered. If a civil judgment is obtained after the restitution order, the restitution amount will be offset by the civil judgment. This legislation is intended to supplement the Kansas code of criminal procedure and will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
