I took a look to see if there were any requirements for the range of the pay scale to be posted, and it looks like this is all that's said:

> “Pay scale” means the salary or hourly wage range that the employer reasonably expects to pay for the position.

Also, apparently you can already ask for the pay scale, but this law would require it to be on any job posting.

> Existing law requires an employer, upon reasonable request, to provide the pay scale for a position to an applicant applying for employment.

And you would be able to get the pay range for your current job.

> This bill would also require an employer, upon request, to provide to an employee the pay scale for the position in which the employee is currently employed.

And companies will still avoid listing a salary, and just say 'Not accepting applicants in Colorado or California' as they do now[1] to get around the Colorado law.

The business impact for any decently sized company of denying California + Colorado applicants will be much higher than denying just Colorado applicants.
