Oklahoma legislators are pushing through a law that would allow judges to order convicted drunk drivers to pay child support if they kill a parent of a minor.
could soon find themselves on the hook for child support payments if they kill a parent in a DUI crash.
The bill is known as"Bentley’s Law" which first passed in Missouri after a push from a woman named Cecilia Williams whose grandson Bentley lost his parents to a drunk driving crash."This, to me, seems like a legitimate solution for us to support Oklahoma children who are too often left behind," Jerod Breit, Mothers Against Drunk Driving’s regional executive director, told the outlet.
Sergeant Luis Taborda from the City of Miami police department conducts a field sobriety test at a DUI checkpointto pay child support which Breit said is a concern that should make potential drunk drivers think twice. . John George, who authored the bill, said on the House floor that"anytime you can prevent" drunk driving it’s a"great thing" and if you can’t prevent it this bill can still"give some kind of benefit to the victim’s family."
