On Sept. 1, of 2023 a new law was enacted to try to further detour drunk driving and help make restitution for families who have lost parents due to drunk driving. The law known as ‘Bentley’s Law,’ was named after a father of two who lost his life in 2014, leaving behind a family not only without a father but also without at least one parent to take care of the children financially.
