The difference with salary is that it's going to be illegal to ask in CA.

  Yes. I agree that these are different. I'm curious if you think the difference matters - would you be okay with (or more precisely, would you think it's constitutional to have) a law that says, sure, you can ask for salary, but if it comes out that your offer was influenced by the quoted salary number and you would have paid a higher salary if you heard a higher quoted number, you are liable for back pay plus damages? I'd be fine with such a law (and I also think the current law gives slightly more freedom in practice).

    Absolutely not, regulating people's economic behavior like that is pure evil.

      And I disagree. I cannot believe that is regulating someone's economic behavior in any way. For one, the budget you have for a job opening is set before you interview anyone. Whatever you price that job at, it has nothing to do with what I'm making now.
