The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Paycheck Fairness Act (H.R. 7) in a 242-187 vote March 27, 2019. If the bill is signed into law, employers nationwide would be prohibited from asking job applicants about their salary history and require them to prove that pay disparities between men and women are job-related. The bill passed the House mostly along party lines and is expected to stall in the Republican-controlled Senate.
