This bill would protect motorsports racing facilities from certain lawsuits brought by nearby property owners. Specifically, if a racing facility was legally built before a neighboring property was purchased or developed, the facility could not be sued for nuisance based on noise or other disturbances. The emergency declaration means it would take effect immediately if passed. Who it may affect: owners and operators of motorsports racing facilities, and property owners who live or build near existing racing tracks.
