Senate Bill 2351 prevents employers with at least one employee working in Hawaii from making prior salary history inquiries, except under very limited circumstances.  Like most other states implementing such laws, employers must be careful not to ask for, search for, or rely upon prior salary history when setting compensation rates for a new position.
