Just because it illegal to ask a question does not mean answering it dishonestly is not fraudulent.
Perhaps there is some argument that as the question should not have been asked the answer can not be material.
Many contracts of employment contain a clause allowing summary dismissal if found to have lied during your application.
In California it's definitely illegal for an employer to ask you that information
