OKLAHOMA CITY — Many new state workers would have 401(k)-style retirement plans rather than traditional public employee pension plans under a measure the Oklahoma House passed on Tuesday.

The House approved the measure 57-42 and sent it to the state Senate, which has already passed similar legislation. House members also voted 90-0 for a bill that would give many state workers their first pay raise in seven years and revamp state worker compensation. Legislative leaders have said the measure is intertwined with the pension overhaul bill.
