Tougher penalties have been approved for drunken drivers by the North Dakota Senate.

People convicted a first-time would spend two days in jail or do community service.

Jail time would be imposed for a blood-alcohol level of .18 or higher. Fines for a first-time conviction would rise from $250 to $500.

A fourth DUI could be prosecuted as a felony with a potential five years in prison.
