Assembly Bill 367 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 entered into contracts to play minor league baseball and are compensated under a collective bargaining agreement that outlines their wages and working conditions. Additionally, it establishes a new provision under 104.01 (2) (b) 6, specifically identifying these minor league players as exempt from certain labor regulations.
Furthermore, the bill amends existing law under 104.09 to clarify that employers are not required to keep records of hours worked for these exempt individuals. This change aims to streamline the regulatory framework for minor league baseball players, allowing them to operate under the terms of their collective bargaining agreements without the constraints of standard labor laws that apply to other employees.
