Tennessee lawmakers passed legislation on April 20 that would require a person to pay child support if they are convicted of vehicular homicide due to intoxication in the death of someone who was a parent to one or more minor children.
The state Senate unanimously approved House Bill 1834, which was introduced by lawmakers Sen. Mike Bell (R-Riceville) and Rep. Mark Hall (R-Cleveland). The measure now goes to Gov. Bill Lee’s desk for an expected signature into law.
