Senate Bill 374 proposes amendments to Wisconsin's labor laws, specifically regarding exemptions for minor league baseball players from minimum wage, overtime pay, and recordkeeping requirements. The bill creates a new statute, 103.023, which exempts individuals who have contracts to play minor league baseball and are compensated under a collective bargaining agreement that outlines their wages and working conditions from the state's minimum wage and overtime pay regulations. Additionally, it establishes that these individuals are not subject to recordkeeping requirements related to hours worked and wages earned.

The bill also amends existing statute 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 under the same exemption criteria. Overall, the legislation aims to streamline labor regulations for minor league baseball players, aligning them with the terms set forth in their collective bargaining agreements.
