I don't think this will fix anything. Consider the following scenario.

Employer to (theoretically) underpaid/under-represented minority: I offer you x.

Underpaid minority: accepted.

Employer to market-rate perspective employee: I offer you x.

market-rate perspective employee: nope.

Employer to market-rate perspective employee: how about X+25K?

market-rate perspective employee: sounds good.

This bill tries to fix a symptom of the problem - but the underlying dynamics causing the pay disparity will remain.
