Exempts minor league baseball players from certain State wage laws under certain circumstances.
This bill exempts minor league baseball players in New Jersey from the state's wage and hour laws and recordkeeping requirements when they are covered by a collective bargaining agreement between Minor League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA). The exemption applies only during the term of a valid agreement that specifically outlines wages and working conditions, ending if the agreement expires or is replaced. The bill requires Minor League Baseball and the MLBPA to notify the state Department of Labor within one week of any agreement termination or replacement. This change aligns New Jersey's labor laws with the 2023 nationwide collective bargaining agreement that already provides minor league players with guaranteed salaries, health care, housing stipends, and other benefits.
