    On page 3, line 8, after "production;" strike "or"

    On page 3, line 12, after "entire differential" insert "; or

(v) A bona fide regional difference in compensation levels that is: (A) Consistent with business necessary; (B) not based on or derived from a gender-based differential; and (C) accounts for the entire differential"

    On page 3, line 13, after "An" strike "individual's" and insert "employee's"

EFFECT:

· Adds defense of a bona fide regional difference in compensation levels.  Requires the difference to be consistent with business necessity, not be based on or derived from a gender-based differential, and account for the entire differential (same requirements as for the job related factor defense).

· Clarifies that the wage or salary history that is not a defense is the employee's wage or salary history.
