Tennessee May Soon Require Drunken Drivers to Pay Support to Victims’ Children

Maybe not such a bad idea!

Individual freedom is not possible without individual responsibility. When one drinks alcohol or consumes other psychoactive substances, then personal responsibility and consequences significantly increase!

"Tennessee lawmakers passed a bill this week that would require drunken drivers convicted of killing anyone with children to pay child support, in a first for a U.S. state.

The state Senate unanimously passed the bill Wednesday, about two months after House lawmakers had done so. The legislation now heads to Republican Gov. Bill Lee. ..."

"A first-of-its-kind bill passed by state lawmakers this week would allow courts to determine the appropriate amount to be paid when a driver is convicted of killing anyone with minor children. Lawmakers in states including Missouri, Pennsylvania and Alabama are considering similar laws."
