OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma Supreme Court, in a split vote, allowed organizers to pursue a petition to raise the minimum wage, according to a ruling published Monday. State Question 832, if successful, would raise the minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 an hour by 2029, but the Oklahoma State Chamber and Farm Bureau say the question is unconstitutional because it would also allow a federal agency to determine the wage after 2029.
