Governor Andy Beshear signed into law a bill that will make sure families are financially helped in some of their worst moments.
Melanie’s Law allows a judge to order a person convicted of DUI resulting in the death or disability of a parent or guardian to provide financial support for the children of the victim.
Melanie’s Law is named after Melanie Hull. Melanie was left permanently disabled on July 1, 2022, when a driver crashed into Melanie’s car with her and her eight-year-old son inside. The driver was later convicted of driving under the influence.
Melanie’s family watched together Monday morning as Governor Andy Beshear signed the bill into law.
Melanie is currently fighting for her life in hospice.
