Wisconsin lawmakers are looking to get tougher on repeat drunk drivers.
The Assembly on Tuesday approved a plan that would require a mandatory 18-month prison sentence for anyone convicted of the fifth or sixth OWI.
Lawmakers also voted for a plan to give prosecutors more time to see if someone has an OWI in another state before making a charging decision. State Rep. Jim Ott says the idea is not to lock more people up, rather he wants to get people to think about their drinking and driving choices.
