BOSTON — A bill that aims to close the so-called wage gap by increasing transparency and establishing guidelines for courts adjudicating claims of wage discrimination could become law this summer.
The bill (HB 1733), currently being reviewed by the Massachusetts House Committee on Ways and Means, would outlaw employer policies that ban employees from sharing compensation information. The Massachusetts Senate unanimously passed a similar measure in January (SB 2107).
The current draft of the GOP platform created in Cleveland includes a provision calling for sexual assault on college campuses to be handled exclusively by police, not campus judicial bodies.
