AL HB114

Requires individuals convicted of DUI under Alabama Code Section 32-5A-191 to pay child support if the offense causes the death of a child's parent or guardian.

Child support obligation extends until the child reaches 19 years of age and accrues from the date of the parent or guardian's death.

Child support amount may be calculated using Alabama Rules of Judicial Administration Rule 32 guidelines or court-determined amount based on child's needs, surviving parent's resources, standard of living, custody arrangements, and other specified factors.

Convicted individuals subject to income withholding orders and, if incarcerated, have up to one year after release to begin payment of support and any accumulated arrearage.

Act becomes effective on the first day of the third month following passage and gubernatorial approval.
