Senate Bill 374 proposes amendments to Wisconsin's labor laws to exempt minor league baseball players from certain minimum wage, overtime pay, and recordkeeping requirements. Specifically, the bill creates a new statute, 103.023, which states that individuals who have entered into contracts to play minor league baseball and are compensated under a collective bargaining agreement that outlines their wages and working conditions will not be subject to the state's minimum wage and overtime pay regulations. Additionally, these players will be exempt from recordkeeping requirements that employers typically must follow regarding hours worked and wages paid.

The bill also amends existing law under section 104.09 to clarify that employers are not required to keep records of hours worked for individuals exempt under the new provisions. Furthermore, it adds a new subsection to 104.01, specifically identifying minor league baseball players as individuals who fall under this exemption. Overall, the legislation aims to provide flexibility for minor league baseball players regarding their compensation and working conditions as outlined in their collective bargaining agreements.
