Though both pieces of legislation were inspired by the higher-profile allegations against N.F.L. teams, the lawmakers are not limiting their focus to football.

On Monday, Ms. Gonzalez and Ms. Rozic, together with another New York assemblywoman, will send a letter to the N.B.A. commissioner, Adam Silver. In it, they will ask the N.B.A. to disclose the terms and conditions of cheerleader contracts for all 30 teams in the league. (The lawmakers sent a similar letter to the N.F.L.’s commissioner last month; it has gone unanswered.)

“We want a clear understanding of employment status and pay scales,” Ms. Rozic said, noting that a bit more information had been made public in the N.F.L. because of suits and settlements, but no sense of N.B.A. labor practices with respect to cheerleaders existed.

At least one N.B.A. team is known to pay legal wages, said Ms. Vinick, the California lawyer, and it indirectly inspired the first suit of this kind. Ms. Vinick’s former client Lacy T. of the Raiders, whose last name was not released by the league, danced for the N.B.A. before she joined the N.F.L. Ms. Vinick said the Golden State Warriors of the N.B.A. had paid a legal hourly wage, and that basis for comparison had informed her client’s choice to sue the Raiders.

“I know the Warriors pay dancers legally,” Ms. Vinick said, “but I don’t have any sense of whether that’s the norm in the N.B.A.” She said that after the Raiders case, several other women from N.F.L. teams that have not been sued had approached her. They considered bringing cases, too, she said, but ultimately decided not to for various reasons, including fear of alienating teammates or harming professional dancing careers. She said Ms. Herington’s case might prompt other women to come forward.

“A lot of employees don’t even realize it’s wage theft,” Ms. Vinick said. “There’s this attitude: ‘It’s the Raiders — why would they do something illegal?’ ”

She called the state legislation positive but not essential — it has always been a violation of the law not to pay minimum wage, she said. “If you’re the owner of a team and you’ve continued these practices after these cases, it’s the height of arrogance to think nobody’s going to come and get you,” she said, adding that she was skeptical that league commissioners like Mr. Silver were even aware of each team’s unique compensation structure for cheerleaders.
