Removing the sunset date for an employer's ability to correct wage and salary disclosures and defining "applicant."
This bill removes the expiration date (sunset) for employers to correct wage and salary disclosure errors in job postings, making the correction period permanent. It requires employers to fix noncompliant postings within five business days of written notice from a job applicant or third party, preventing penalties for good-faith corrections. The law applies to employers with 15+ employees and defines "applicant" as someone with genuine employment intent. It maintains enforcement options (like $100-$5,000 penalties per violation) but ensures employers can correct mistakes before legal action.
