Looks like in La, the employer cannot disclose salary info

This is incorrect. Employers can say pretty much whatever they want to about you as long as it is true. Now most employers don't give out much information by choice because they don't want to get involved and don't want to risk giving out something that may be construed as inaccurate. Just because they usually WON'T doesn't mean they CAN'T.

Just looked it up, it varies heavily from state to state and there are some pretty stiff penalties if the employer discloses anything outside of what is in the law.

Where did you look this up? What are the "stiff penalties" if an employer provides accurate information about your salary?

Be careful googling legal advice.
