Is it legal to publish a range? Is it legal if that range is something like "between zero and infinity"?
A similar law exists in Slovakia, and most companies already shamelessly use this loophole. If everyone puts in small print that their salary is "€1 or more, depending on your skills", people soon learn to ignore it, and everything is just like it was before.

There are stipulations to ensure employers are doing it in good faith and not skirting their system.

My experience has been that a lot (approaching half?) Of all CO job postings for data science have laughably large ranges. Like 100-200k

It’s a start at least, and better than nothing! I believe the goal is to push employees towards posting, have other states make similar laws and get to a point where they are more accurate and useable.
Likely starting in April you’ll start to see more and more salaries being posted.
