KS HB2306

Requires courts to order defendants convicted of DUI-related involuntary manslaughter to pay child support for any minor children of the victim until age 18 and high school graduation

Courts must consider seven factors when setting support amounts, including the child's age, financial needs, standard of living, emotional/physical condition, and the surviving parent's childcare expenses

Payments go to the surviving parent or guardian and are enforced as restitution judgments under existing Kansas law

Incarcerated defendants have up to one year after release to begin payments and establish a plan to address any arrearage, with payments continuing until fully paid

Restitution is not ordered if the surviving parent already obtained a civil judgment against the defendant; any subsequent civil judgment offsets the restitution order
