Summary

The bill lets people who bought land or built a building within five miles of a racing facility use a full legal defense against nuisance claims, as long as the track operates lawfully and the complaint concerns ordinary activities like noise, dust, traffic, or lighting. It does not exempt the facility from environmental, health, safety, or injury laws, and local governments cannot adopt rules that conflict with this protection.
