Civil procedure: other; racing facilities and racetracks; provide immunity from nuisance claims. Amends 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.101 - 600.9947) by adding sec. 2940a.

Summary

The bill adds a new civil‑procedure provision that bars owners or occupants of land within five miles of a racing facility from suing the track’s owner or operator for nuisance, taking, or similar claims, as long as the facility was built before the land was purchased or developed. The immunity applies even if the track later changes its size, scope, technology, or type of racing, provided those changes are lawful, and it does not exempt the track from environmental or health‑safety regulations. The measure is currently referred to the Senate Committee on Regulatory Affairs.
