          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pay Equity for All Act of 202&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill generally prohibits employers from relying on the wage history of prospective employees when considering them for employment or determining their wages. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;However, an employer may rely on wage history voluntarily offered by a prospective employee to support a higher wage than was initially offered. An employer also may seek to confirm voluntarily supplied wage history with a prospective employee's current or former employer.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;An employer may not retaliate against an employee or prospective employee who opposes a practice made unlawful by this bill.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill provides for enforcement of these prohibitions through civil penalties and other remedies.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
