SB1093 is an emergency measure that aims to exempt minor league baseball players from the state's minimum wage and recordkeeping requirements if they are compensated under a collective bargaining agreement that exceeds statutory minimum wage and employee benefits requirements. The bill specifies that minor league players who have contracts and are compensated in a manner that surpasses the statutory requirements as per their collective bargaining agreement will not be subject to the minimum wage or recordkeeping laws related to hours worked.

The bill also includes a legislative finding that recognizes the unique nature of minor league baseball and supports treating players as salaried professionals who receive non-wage compensation such as employer-paid housing and meals. It requires a three-fourths majority vote in each house of the legislature for enactment, as per Proposition 105, and will become effective immediately upon the Governor's signature due to the emergency clause. The bill makes technical amendments to existing law, such as replacing "promulgate regulations" with "adopt rules" and updating language for clarity and consistency.
