BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s House has endorsed a bill aimed at strengthening penalties for drunken driving.

Representatives approved the bill 69-23 on Wednesday. The measure will now go to the Senate.

Along with increased fines and other penalties, the measure would require jail time or community service work for first-time DUI offenders who have blood alcohol content of 0.16 percent. That’s twice the state’s legal limit of 0.08 percent.

The bill also would require mandatory participation in the so-called 24/7 sobriety program for repeat offenders.

A second DUI arrest also would require a minimum sentence of 10 days in jail.
