(Bismarck, ND) -- Lawmakers are voting down a minimum wage bill proposed in this year's legislative session.
The bill would have boosted the minimum wage to nine dollars an hour with a 25-cent-per-year boost every year. Proponents of the measure said it was needed to keep the state be competitive. Critics argued boosting the minimum wage would hurt struggling small businesses.
North Dakota's minimum wage currently stands at $7.25 per hour.
