Montana SB313 aims to enhance wage transparency and prevent wage discrimination by employers.

Employers are barred from paying different wages based on sex or other protected statuses unless specific criteria are met. Employers must disclose wage information in job postings and upon request for promotions. The bill also mandates recordkeeping and establishes a process for filing complaints and pursuing legal action for violations. The commissioner is authorized to enforce the act and impose fines for non-compliance.
