Senators Moreno and Donovan introduced House Bill 18-1377, concerning salary history information.  The bill makes it a discriminatory practice for an employer to seek salary history information, including information about prior compensation and benefits, from an applicant for employment unless an employer has provided a salary range for the open position or the applicant voluntarily agreed to discuss his or her salary with the employer.  Senator Moreno responded to questions from the committee.

Anna Crawford, Women's Lobby of Colorado, spoke in favor of the bill.

Natalie Wood, Bell Policy Center, spoke in favor of the bill.  She provided a handout to the committee (Attachment I).

Karla Gonzales Garcia, COLOR, spoke in favor of the bill.  She provided a handout to the committee (Attachment J).

Emily Alves, 9to5 Colorado, spoke in favor of the bill.  She provided a handout to the committee (Attachment K).

Senator Moreno made closing comments on the merits of the bill.
