Bill > HB1558

This bill modifies Indiana labor laws to exclude minor league baseball players who are compensated under a collective bargaining agreement from certain employment record-keeping and wage requirements. Specifically, the bill amends two sections of Indiana code to add a new exemption for minor league baseball players. Under the proposed changes, employers would not be required to maintain daily and weekly hour records for minor league baseball players who have a contract and are paid according to a collective bargaining agreement that explicitly outlines wages and working conditions. Additionally, these players would be excluded from the definition of "employee" for minimum wage law purposes. This means that minor league baseball players covered by a collective bargaining agreement would be treated differently from other workers in terms of labor law protections and documentation requirements. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and appears to be designed to provide a specific legal carve-out for the minor league baseball employment context.
