MODERATE

This bill updates the effective date of wage transparency requirements from January 1, 2027, to July 1, 3000, likely to allow for further legislative review or due to a clerical error. It also clarifies the definition of 'covered employees' to explicitly include full-time, part-time, temporary, and seasonal workers, ensuring the wage disclosure rules apply uniformly across all employment types without exception.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on requiring employers to disclose wage ranges on job listings, but the applicability is now explicitly defined to cover all employee types previously listed in the text.

TIMELINE

The effective date of the law was changed from January 1, 2027, to July 1, 3000.

DEFINITION

A new definition was added to explicitly state that 'covered employee' includes full-time, part-time, temporary, and seasonal employees.

REQUIREMENT

The text was revised to remove redundant lists of employee types in the main clause, relying instead on the new definition for clarity.

TECHNICAL

Minor formatting changes were made to the bill header, author names, and document metadata.
