That would be illegal under this new law as well:

> The bill also would prohibit an employer from seeking salary history information about an applicant for employment and would require an employer, upon reasonable request, to provide the pay scale for a position to an applicant for employment.

They're not allowed to try to find out from someone else, either.

They don't have to find out they just have to employ someone who can do so because they aren't beholden to california. You contract out to me wanting only to know how much you should offer. I give you a number. You offer your applicant that number.

I'm not a lawyer but that doesn't seem to be illegal or even a loophole its out of scope.
