wage history; disclosure; retaliation; prohibition

Arizona's SB 1197 prohibits employers from refusing to interview, hire, promote, or employ an applicant because they decline to share their past salary information. The bill directly affects job applicants in Arizona who may be asked about their previous wages during hiring. Key provisions ban employers from using non-disclosure of wage history as a basis for employment decisions and prohibit retaliation against applicants who refuse to provide this information. The law aims to prevent salary history from influencing hiring outcomes, promoting pay transparency and fairness.
