A bill for an act relating to wage discrimination under the Iowa civil rights Act of 1965 and making penalties applicable.

This bill, the "Pay Transparency and Fairness Act," would prohibit employers from preventing employees from discussing their wages or retaliating against them for doing so. It also prevents employers from asking about a job applicant's salary history and requires job advertisements to include the minimum pay rate for the position. If passed, employers would have stricter requirements to prove that pay differences are based on legitimate, job-related factors rather than discriminatory reasons.
