 6 whether to offer employment to such individual or in determining the
 7 wages or salary for such individual.
 8 b. orally or in writing seek, request, or require an applicant or
 9 current employee to disclose salary expectations as a condition to be
 10 interviewed, or as a condition of continuing to be considered for an
 11 offer of employment, or as a condition of employment or promotion.
 12 c. refuse to interview, hire, promote, otherwise employ, or otherwise
 13 retaliate against an applicant or current employee based upon stated
 14 salary expectations.
 15 d. refuse to interview, hire, promote, otherwise employ, or otherwise
 16 retaliate against an applicant or current employee because such appli-
 17 cant or current employee did not provide salary expectations in accord-
 18 ance with this section.
 19 e. refuse to interview, hire, promote, otherwise employ, or otherwise
 20 retaliate against an applicant or current or former employee because the
 21 applicant or current or former employee filed a complaint with the

 S. 5828 2

 1 2. Nothing in this section shall prevent an applicant or current
 2 employee from voluntarily, and without prompting, disclosing or verify-
 3 ing salary expectations, including but not limited to for the purposes
 4 of negotiating wages or salary.
 5 3. An employer may confirm salary expectations only if at the time an
 6 offer of employment with compensation is made, the applicant or current

 8 support a wage or salary higher than offered by the employer.
 9 4. For the purposes of this section, "employer" shall include but not
 10 be limited to any person, corporation, limited liability company, asso-
 11 ciation, labor organization, or entity employing any individual in any
