• An equal pay task force is created. The task force shall study wage discrepancies within public and private employment and between public and private employers.
• The general assembly finds that the practice of discriminating against any employee because of the age, race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, religion, or disability of such employee by paying wages to such employee at a rate less than the rate paid to other employees does all of the following:
  • Unjustly discriminates against the person receiving the lesser rate.
  • Leads to low employee morale, high turnover, and frequent labor unrest.
  • Curtails employment opportunities, decreases employees' mobility, and increases labor costs.
  • Threatens the well-being of citizens of this state and adversely affects the general welfare.
