An effort to raise Oklahoma's minimum wage cleared a legal hurdle Monday after State Question 832 was given the green light by the Supreme Court of Oklahoma. | MORE | Could Oklahoma one day see a $15 minimum wage?This decision came after legal challenges on whether the effort was constitutional. "It is a victory today for hard-working Oklahomans who need this ballot measure to move forward," said Amber England, the campaign spokesperson for Raise the Wage Oklahoma. If the state question is passed by voters, it would raise the minimum wage to $9 an hour in 2025. It would then gradually increase every year by $1.50 until it reaches $15 an hour in 2029. “We would have 90 days to collect signatures. We would need to get around 92,000," England said. But other steps have to happen first. The Secretary of State's Office has to provide a date when the group can start collecting those signatures. “The Secretary of State’s Office would then count those signatures, and then a ballot title would be issued, and then the governor would issue a proclamation, or it would be placed on the next general election ballot," England said. Previously, the State Chamber argued against the state question, pointing to research they said shows raising the minimum wage would hurt local businesses. >> Download the KOCO 5 AppEngland said it's simply time to raise it. “States surrounding us have already increased their minimum wage. Arkansas raised their minimum wage to $12," England said. There isn't a set date for the petition to open, but England said it could be as early as April.
