Plain-language summary
Beta

This bill would require Kentucky employers to include pay or a pay range in any job posting when advertising an open position. It also defines key terms like "job posting" and "wage range" to clarify what the requirement covers. This matters to Kentuckians because it would make salary information available upfront before a job applicant invests time in the hiring process. Who it may affect: job seekers and employers of all sizes across Kentucky.
