Looking for work and a manager won’t disclose pay

Hi everyone! I have a question and couldn’t find an answer. I graduated school last year and have been looking for entry level work in IT. I was talking to a manager of a very large gas station franchise on the west coast and she told me they need IT people. I asked “What’s the salary range?” She replied “I’m not allowed to discuss that.” Well, I need to know what the pay is BEFORE I apply. Is she, by law, required to tell me? All I could find were laws about disclosing pay after the applicant has been interviewed. This seems pretty shady to me and it makes me not want to apply. Many thanks in advance for anyone who can clarify this.
