Missouri House Bill 1740, known as “Bentley’s Law,” would require drivers convicted of killing a parent in a DWI crash to pay child support to the surviving spouse or guardian of the victim’s child. Payments would be processed through a designated office and would continue until the child turns 18 or 21 if pursuing education. The bill aims to provide financial stability for children affected by impaired driving and hold offenders accountable. If approved by Gov. Mike Kehoe, the law would take effect on Aug. 28th
