Prohibits employers, employment agencies, and labor organizations from inquiring into, considering, or requiring disclosure of an applicant's pay history for compensation determination purposes.

Establishes a rebuttable presumption that using an applicant's pay history to determine future compensation is an unfair discriminatory employment practice under Minnesota Statutes section 363A.08.

Allows exceptions when pay history is a matter of public record under federal or state law, unless the employer intentionally accessed those records to obtain pay history for compensation purposes.

Permits applicants to voluntarily disclose pay history without prompting and allows employers to consider voluntarily disclosed information to offer higher wages than initially proposed.

Takes effect January 1, 2022, with a delayed effective date for employment covered by collective bargaining agreements until implementation of applicable agreements after January 1, 2022.
