Lawmakers propose bill to close the wage gap for women in Oklahoma

Article here. Excerpt:

'Representatives Jason Dunnington and Emily Virgin want to make it illegal for an employer in Oklahoma to pay women less than men for comparable work.

The bill would allow female employees who feel they’re being discriminated against to file a complaint with the Labor Department.

“The Labor Department would contact the employer and then would seek records and would do an investigation on whether that’s the case and whether or not that employer was making a practice of paying females less for the same work as males,” Dunnington said.

The bill would also make it illegal to fire a woman because she made a wage claim.'
