GA HB1574

Requires courts to order restitution for persons convicted of first-degree vehicular homicide involving DUI (Code Section 40-6-391) when the victim was a legal parent or guardian of a minor child

Restitution must provide financial assistance to each of the victim's minor children until the child turns 18 or graduates from high school, whichever comes first

Courts must consider six factors when determining restitution amounts: the child's financial resources and needs, the surviving guardian's resources and needs, the child's accustomed standard of living, the child's physical/emotional condition and educational needs, custody arrangements, and work-related child care expenses

No restitution may be ordered if a civil judgment for the death has already been obtained prior to sentencing; any restitution ordered will be offset by subsequent civil judgments or crime victim compensation awards

Amends Code Section 40-6-393 relating to homicide by vehicle under Georgia's serious traffic offenses statutes (Title 40, Chapter 6, Article 15)
