Fair Ball Act

The Fair Ball Act amends the Fair Labor Standards Act to extend minimum wage and overtime protections to minor league baseball players. It directly affects minor league players who were previously excluded from these protections under a specific exemption. The key change removes the exemption for players covered by an active collective bargaining agreement, requiring teams to pay at least the federal minimum wage and overtime. This policy change updates the existing legal exemption to align with current union agreements, ensuring eligible players receive standard labor protections.
