It's not legal, but businesses can get away with it, if women can't find out how much their male colleagues are being payed for doing the same job.

The bill would have forced businesses to reveal this information.

So...it would have sowed discontent in workplaces (there's a lot more than just discrimination as to why employees are prohibited from discussing their salaries).

So it's like every other illegal thing. Super. Let's pass 80 more laws to make it really, really illegal.

Is it talking about starting salary? As in, person A with the same exact education and experience starts at the same exact salary as person B?

Or does it account for experience, education, performance evaluations, etc?

Just because two people do the same job doesn't mean they should be paid the same. Experience and performance play a big part in determining salary.
