> Councilman William Greenlee, a Democrat, who sponsored the bill, says the measure wouldn’t prevent employers from setting a fair salary, bar salary negotiations with prospective hires, or keep job candidates from voluntarily sharing their pay history. But if passed, violators who quizzed would-be hires about salary could face fines up to $2,000.

Even if passed, the penalty hardly seems disincentivizing.

A proportional penalty based on the salary of the position would make more sense. If you're hiring at McDonalds at minimum wage, $2000 is a bigger penalty than if you're hiring an engineer.
