Enacts new law relating to wage range inquiries by employees and prospective employees

SB 373 would prohibit employers from asking job applicants or current employees about their previous salary history during hiring or promotion decisions. This directly affects job seekers and employees who might otherwise be required to disclose past pay. The key provision bans using prior salary as a factor in setting new compensation, aiming to prevent pay disparities. The bill is currently pending in the Senate General Laws Committee after its first reading.
