(TULSA) - Oklahoma Representative Jason Dunnington proposed a bill to raise minimum wage close to three dollars.

The democrat from Oklahoma City added the bill to the list of bills for the upcoming session.

Representative Dunnington wants minimum wage to go from $7.25 to $10.10 an hour.

The measure states, “Not less than ten dollars and ten cents ($10.10) an hour or the current federal minimum wage, whichever is greater, for all hours worked.”

Lawmakers debated raising the minimum wage last year and the bill failed.

The 55th Legislature convenes February 2.
