This bill proposes several updates to current statutes regarding employment practices, specifically focusing on wage transparency and discrimination. It introduces new prohibitions for employers, including the requirement that they cannot mandate nondisclosure of wage information, retaliate against employees for discussing wages, or inquire about a prospective employee's salary history before making a job offer. Additionally, it establishes penalties for violations, including civil penalties and the potential for employees to seek damages and injunctive relief in court.

The bill also amends existing provisions related to wage discrimination, clarifying that employers cannot use an employee's prior wage history as a defense in discrimination claims. It modifies the timeframe for filing claims from six months to one year and specifies that the burden of proof lies with the claimant to demonstrate that wage differences are based on sex rather than other factors. Overall, the proposed changes aim to enhance wage equity and protect employees' rights in the workplace.
