Unfortunately, I know what will happen. In fact, I can forecast it exactly.
HR departments will come up with a "range" if someone asks, and those who know how to negotiate will bust it wide open.
This is just another needless regulation, from legislators who think regulating our every action is the best approach.

In California, most regulations are just putting into law what the government thinks you should be doing, but people will largely go on doing what they were going to do anyway. Ever been to a Starbucks in CA? They all have the same warnings about carcinogens that you find on a gas pump. The end result is that all such warnings are ignored because everything has a warning on it. I think the current regulation is similar - good intention, and makes us feel like we are "doing something", but won't actually have a meaningful change.
