Minor league baseball players exempted from minimum wage and overtime requirements.
This bill exempts minor league baseball players from Minnesota's minimum wage and overtime pay requirements. It achieves this by adding a new category to the state's definition of "employee," which excludes individuals who have signed contracts to play at the minor league level and are paid according to a collective bargaining agreement. The change directly affects professional baseball players in Minnesota's minor leagues and their respective teams. The legislation is effective immediately upon final enactment.
