Summary

The bill makes any private employer in the state that has 100 or more employees submit an annual report on employee pay, race, ethnicity and gender. It applies to the employer’s own staff and to workers hired through labor contractors, and it adds new reporting categories and penalties for non‑compliance. The goal is to give the Civil Rights Department data it can use to spot wage gaps and discrimination.
