Minimum Wage Increase Initiative
Plain-English Summary
State Question 832 proposed to gradually raise Oklahoma's minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 per hour over three years, with subsequent annual increases tied to the Consumer Price Index. The measure was rejected by voters.
What each outcome does
If SQ 832 had passed, the state's minimum wage would have increased to $12 in 2027, then by $1.50 each year to reach $15 per hour in 2029, and would have continued to increase annually based on the U.S. Department of Labor’s Consumer Price Index starting in 2030.
If SQ 832 failed, the state's minimum wage would remain at its current rate of $7.25 per hour, and future increases would not be tied to the proposed schedule or the Consumer Price Index.
