Tulsa Ordinance 22023 requires city contractors and certain subsidized vendors to pay a living wage above Oklahoma's $7.25 floor. Hotels are not directly covered, but city-funded venue operators must meet the contractor wage and reporting rules.
Tulsa adopted Ordinance 22023 setting a living-wage floor for direct city contractors and recipients of significant city financial assistance, indexed periodically by City Council. Oklahoma Statute Title 40 Section 160.4 preempts cities from setting a private-sector minimum wage, so the ordinance reaches only city contractor payrolls, not all Tulsa hotels or restaurants. Operators of city-owned hotels, the Cox Business Center, BOK Center, and similar venues run by SMG/ASM Global must meet the contractor wage, fringe disclosure, and certified-payroll reporting requirements. Tulsa enforces compliance through procurement audits.
City contractors that pay covered workers below the living-wage floor, miss certified-payroll reports, or misclassify subcontractors can face contract suspension, debarment, and back-pay orders.
