POLL Tennessee passes bill that would require drunk drivers to pay child support if they kill a parent of a minor

A Tennessee bill that would require drunk drivers to pay child support if they kill a parent due to intoxication or aggravated vehicular homicide has passed.

House Bill 1834 would require a person who is convicted of vehicular homicide to pay restitution in the form of child maintenance if their victim was the parent of a minor child. Each child of the victim would receive the restitution until they reach 18 years old and graduate high school.

Is this a good idea?

I wonder why they limit it to drunk drivers. Why not ordinary murderers?

Will they have to pay if the kid is married? Tennessee is also looking to pass a marriage bill - only between male and female and NO age limit.
