> if applicants ask — must give them a pay range for the job they are seeking

I find this a much bigger deal. This gives applicants much more leverage and wastes less of their time. No non-competes in California, and now this.



Is it really? Couldn't company's just conceal the real range by giving an immense range (e.g. $20,000 to $300,000)


Not really. Employers can say whatever they want, and here’s how. All applicants apply for Job Description A. If applicant doesn’t ask for pay range, they might be hired into the better paying Job Description B. The man who makes more than every woman for equal work has one additional duty for Job Description Super Omega X. My point is, you can’t legislate morality, and equal work for equal pay is a moral issue. Those without morals will find a way around any barriers imposed by legislation.
