	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1017, Campos. Employers.
   Existing law imposes various restrictions on employers with
respect to applicants for employment. A violation of those
restrictions is a misdemeanor.
   This bill would prohibit an employer from seeking salary history
information about an applicant for employment, except as otherwise
provided. The bill would specify that a violation of its provisions
would not be subject to the misdemeanor provision.

  SECTION 1.  Section 432.3 is added to the Labor Code, to read:
   432.3.  (a) An employer shall not, orally or in writing,
personally or through an agent, seek salary history information,
including, but not limited to, compensation and benefits, about an
applicant for employment.
   (b) Section 433 does not apply to this section.
   (c) This section shall not apply to salary history information
disclosable to the public pursuant to federal or state law, including
but not limited to, the California Public Records Act, Chapter 3.5
(commencing with Section 6250) of Division 7 of Title 1 of the
Government Code, or the federal Freedom of Information Act, Section
