Salary History Question Prohibition Act

This bill prohibits employers from using a job applicant's past salary or benefits history when making hiring decisions or setting new pay. It specifically bans employers from asking about prior wages before making an offer, relying on that history to set pay (except if the applicant voluntarily shares it after an offer to request higher pay), or retaliating against applicants who object to these practices. The law directly affects job seekers and employees who might face pay discrimination based on past earnings. Violations carry civil penalties of up to $10,000 per offense and allow affected individuals to seek damages of up to $10,000 plus attorney fees.
