flag Michigan Senate committee advances pay equity bill to ban employers from asking about past salaries, except in finance.

flag A Michigan Senate committee held its first hearing on a bill banning employers from asking job applicants about past pay, aiming to reduce wage gaps for women and lower-income workers. flag Sponsored by Senator Sarah Anthony (D-Lansing), the measure seeks to ensure pay reflects job value, not prior inequities, with an exception for finance roles where disclosure is required by law. flag Advocates say it promotes fairness and economic stability, while business groups oppose it, prompting Democrats to seek compromise. flag The bill passed 3-1 in committee but has not advanced to the full Senate.
