Does my past salary affect the new salary I'm applying for?

I've always wanted to know this. I am applying for a position in a new company that stated in their job posting they start pay at 15,000/yr more than what I make at my current job. When I fill out my application and they see how much I'm making currently will they try to low ball me? If so, how can I prevent that?

Update:

*sorry for the typos

    They may...but not because of how much you are making now but because maybe you don't have quit as much experience as they want you to have
