The law also mandates minimum 5-year prison terms for DWI deaths, up to 10 years without parole for repeat offenders, and channels payments through circuit clerks. Designed to hold offenders accountable and ease the burden on grieving families, it’s set to take effect August 28, 2026 — a stark reminder that reckless driving leaves lasting scars.
