     2  history of an applicant or current employee from  a  current  or  former
     3  employer,  current  or  former  employee,  or  agent of the applicant or
     4  current employee's current or former employer,  except  as  provided  in
     5  subdivision three of this section.
     6    d.  refuse to interview, hire, promote, otherwise employ, or otherwise
     7  retaliate against an applicant or current employee based upon prior wage
     8  or salary history.
     9    e. refuse to interview, hire, promote, otherwise employ, or  otherwise
    10  retaliate  against  an applicant or current employee because such appli-

    12  accordance with this section.
    13    f.  refuse to interview, hire, promote, otherwise employ, or otherwise

    17    2.  Nothing  in  this  section  shall  prevent an applicant or current

    19  ing  wage  or  salary  history,  including  but  not  limited to for the
    20  purposes of negotiating wages or salary.
    21    3. An employer may confirm wage or salary history only if at the  time
    22  an  offer  of  employment  with  compensation  is made, the applicant or
    23  current employee responds to the offer by providing prior wage or salary
    24  information to support a wage or  salary  higher  than  offered  by  the
    25  employer.
    26    4.  For the purposes of this section, "employer" shall include but not
    27  be limited to any person, corporation, limited liability company,  asso-
    28  ciation,  labor  organization, or entity employing any individual in any
    29  occupation, industry, trade, business or service, or any agent  thereof.
    30  For the purposes of this section, the term "employer" shall also include

    32  any other  governmental  entity  or  instrumentality  thereof,  and  any
    33  person,  corporation,  limited  liability company, association or entity
    34  acting as an employment agent, recruiter, or otherwise connecting appli-
    35  cants with employers.
    36    5. An applicant or current or former employee aggrieved by a violation
    37  of this section may bring  a  civil  action  for  compensation  for  any
    38  damages sustained as a result of such violation on behalf of such appli-
    39  cant,  employee,  or  other  persons  similarly situated in any court of
    40  competent jurisdiction. The court may award injunctive relief as well as
    41  reasonable attorneys' fees to a plaintiff who prevails in a civil action
    42  brought under this paragraph.
    43    6. Nothing in this section shall be deemed  to  diminish  the  rights,
    44  privileges,  or  remedies of any applicant or current or former employee
    45  under any other law or regulation or  under  any  collective  bargaining
    46  agreement or employment contract.
    47    7.  This  section  shall not supersede any federal, state or local law

    49  disclosure or verification of salary history information to determine an
    50  employee's compensation.

    52  which shall include making information available  on  its  website,  and
