OKC, Okla. — The board that sets the salaries of Oklahoma lawmakers has voted to boost legislative pay by 35% next year, two years after cutting lawmakers' pay.
The Legislative Compensation Board cut legislators' pay by 8.8% in 2017.
Board Chairman Wes Milbourn said then that Oklahomans were frustrated with the Legislature.
The new board voted 7-2 Tuesday to authorize the raises from $35,021 to $47,500.
The board membership has since changed.
The new salaries will take effect on Nov. 18, 2020.
