I'm not a lawyer, but the actual law says "An employer shall not, orally or in writing, personally or through an agent, seek salary history information, including compensation and benefits, about an applicant for employment." It would probably be up to a judge to determine whether asking for a range could be construed as asking for "salary history." Considering this law is a misdemeanor, which means the potential for jail time, I'd stay on the side of caution until some test cases come out.

- jdavis703 9y agoRight, I think both of our discussions were about an employer, as in the entity doing the hiring. Did I miswrite something?
- gbillig 9y agoThe original comment is about the interviewee making sure that the employer is offering a salary above a certain threshold, before going through the whole interview process. This doesn't have anything to do with the employer asking about past salary information.
