The bill amends the Oklahoma Minimum Wage Act by updating the language and increasing the minimum wage for employees in the state. Specifically, it establishes a new minimum wage of Thirteen Dollars ($13.00) per hour, with an annual increase of fifty cents ($0.50) over a five-year period, or the current federal minimum wage, whichever is greater. The bill also clarifies that it is unlawful for employers in the state to pay employees less than this established wage.

Additionally, the bill makes several changes to the statutory language, replacing references to "the State of Oklahoma" with "this state" for consistency. It emphasizes that employers must provide wages that are adequate for the maintenance of their employees and prohibits employment under conditions detrimental to their health or morals. The effective date for the new minimum wage provisions is set for November 1, 2025.
