Premier Doug Ford's government is considering new penalties that would compel impaired drivers convicted of killing a parent to pay child support.

Premier Ford wants to instate the measures as part of his crime bill which will be tabled later this month.

The government suggested the change is based on a 2023 Texas law that requires drivers convicted of killing a parent or guardian to pay child support.
