This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 177.23, subdivision 7, to exempt minor league baseball players from minimum wage and overtime requirements. The amendment introduces a new category of individuals who are not considered employees under the law, specifically stating that any individual who has entered into a contract to play baseball at the minor league level and is compensated according to a collective bargaining agreement that outlines wages and working conditions is exempt from these labor standards.

Additionally, the bill removes the previous provision that exempted members of religious orders serving in nonprofit institutions from being classified as employees. The effective date of this amendment is set for the day following its final enactment, allowing for immediate implementation of the changes regarding the employment status of minor league baseball players.
