Bill overview
The Fair Ball Act aims to ensure that minor league baseball players receive the same protections under wage and hour laws as other professional workers. Currently, many minor league players are classified as independent contractors, which exempts teams from paying minimum wage and overtime. This bill changes the legal classification of these players, requiring them to be considered employees and covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act. This would guarantee they receive minimum wage and overtime pay for their work.
