#5This is bad for the free market and freedom of speech. I hope it gets challenged on First Amendment grounds.

The free market is trash. Employers must be regulated.

#10Seems like an ethics test. Will you tell the truth about your previous low salary or lie to make sure you don't get lowballed?
Then for the employer, will you decrease the salary to match previous low rates or wages? Or will you pay him/her the market rate regardless?
Personally, I have always been asked how much I made at previous places. I prefer to give a range than specify individually.
