No employer 4 shall: 5 a. rely on the wage or salary history of a prospective employee in 6 determining the wages or salary for such individual. 7 b. orally or in writing seek, request, or require the wage or salary 8 history from a prospective employee or current or former employee as a 9 condition to be interviewed, or as a condition of continuing to be 10 considered for an offer of employment, or as a condition of employment 11 or promotion. 12 c. orally or in writing seek, request, or require the wage or salary 13 history of a prospective employee or current or former employee from a 14 current or former employer except as provided in subdivision 3 of this 15 section. 16 d. refuse to interview, hire, promote, otherwise employ, or otherwise 17 retaliate against a prospective employee or current or former employee 18 based upon prior wage or salary history.

LBD05679-12-7A. 2040--C 2 1 e. refuse to interview, hire, promote, otherwise employ, or otherwise 2 retaliate against a prospective employee because the prospective employ- 3 ee or current or former employee did not provide wage or salary history 4 in accordance with this section. 5 f. refuse to interview, hire, promote, otherwise employ, or otherwise 6 retaliate against a prospective employee or current or former employee 7 because the prospective employee or current or former employee filed a 8 complaint with the department alleging a violation of this section. 9 2. Nothing in this section shall prevent a prospective employee or 10 current or former employee from voluntarily disclosing wage or salary 11 history, including but not limited to for the purposes of negotiating 12 wages or salary. 13 3. A prospective employer may confirm wage or salary history only if 14 at the time an offer of employment with compensation is made, the 15 prospective employee or current or former employee responds to the offer 16 by providing prior wage information to support a wage higher than 17 offered by the employer. 18 4. For the purposes of this section, "employer" shall include but not 19 be limited to any person, corporation, limited liability company, asso- 20 ciation, labor organization, or entity employing any individual in any 21 occupation, industry, trade, business or service. For the purposes of 22 this section, the term "employer" shall include the state, any political 23 subdivision thereof, any public authority or any other governmental 24 entity or instrumentality thereof, and any person, corporation, limited 25 liability company, association or entity acting as an employment agent, 26 recruiter, or otherwise connecting prospective employees and with 27 employers. 28 5. (a) If the commissioner finds, after notice and an opportunity to 29 be heard, that an employer has violated the provisions of this section, 30 the commissioner may by an order which shall describe particularly the 31 nature of the violation, assess a civil penalty of not more than one 32 thousand dollars for the first such violation, not more than two thou- 33 sand dollars for a second violation and not more than three thousand 34 dollars for a third or subsequent violation. Such penalty shall be paid 35 to the commissioner for deposit in the treasury of the state.

The court may award injunctive relief as well 45 as reasonable attorneys' fees to a plaintiff who prevails in a civil 46 action brought under this paragraph. 47 6. Prospective employees, or current or former employees, may seek 48 enforcement of the provisions of this section, including pursuant to 49 section one hundred ninety-eight of this article. 50 7. The department shall conduct a public awareness outreach campaign, 51 which shall include making information available on its website, and 52 otherwise informing employers of the provisions of this section. 53 § 2.
