BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota's House has endorsed a measure that would require jail time for some first-time drunken driving offenders.
The measure passed 80-14 Wednesday and now goes to the North Dakota Senate.
The bill mandates that someone with a blood-alcohol content of 0.25 percent — or nearly three times the legal limit for driving — must spend a minimum of 10 days in jail.
The measure also increases fines and penalties and requires probation for repeat offenders.
