According to the Wisconsin State Legislature's official website, the bill was described as follows: "exemptions from minimum wage, overtime pay, and recordkeeping requirements for minor league baseball players".
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
In essence, the bill seeks to amend current labor laws by exempting minor league baseball players from minimum wage, overtime pay, and recordkeeping requirements in Wisconsin, provided they are covered by a collective bargaining agreement that specifies their wages and working conditions. It outlines that these players, under contract for minor league baseball, will not be subject to the rules that mandate overtime pay for hours exceeding 40 per week or to the standard employer recordkeeping obligations for hours worked and wages earned. This aligns with the stipulations set forth in the statutes created and amended by the bill, aiming to differentiate the labor conditions for minor league baseball players from other employees, reflecting the unique nature of their employment agreements.
The bill was co-authored by Sen. Dan Feyen (Republican-20th District), Rep. Mike Bare (Democrat-80th District), Rep. Robert Brooks (Republican-59th District), Rep. Ben DeSmidt (Democrat-65th District), and Rep. Barbara Dittrich (Republican-99th District). It was co-sponsored by Sen. Julian Bradley (Republican-28th District), Sen. Tim Carpenter (Democrat-3rd District), and Sen. Kristin Dassler-Alfheim (Democrat-18th District), along with 14 other co-sponsors.
Alex A. Dallman has co-authored or authored another 23 bills since the beginning of the 2025 session, with none of them being enacted.
Dallman graduated from Edgewood College in 2015 with a BS.
Dallman, a Republican, was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2025 to represent the state's 39th Assembly district, replacing previous state representative Mark Born.
In Wisconsin, the legislative process starts when a senator, constituent, group, or agency proposes an idea for a bill. After drafting, the bill is introduced, numbered, and referred to a committee for review and public input. If approved, it moves through three readings and votes in both the Senate and Assembly. Once both chambers pass the same version, the bill goes to the governor, who can sign it, veto it, or let it become law without a signature. Only a small share of bills introduced each session ultimately become law. You can learn more about the Wisconsin legislative process here.
