Salary Transparency Laws by State in 2024

Salary transparency laws are a relatively new phenomenon in the US—until Colorado enacted the 2021 Equal Pay for Equal Work Act, no US jurisdictions required businesses to disclose pay information to employees or the public. Since 2021, eight additional states and multiple jurisdictions have passed similar laws.
