Summary
The Home Team Act bars leagues from prohibiting government or public ownership of franchises and forces owners to give local governments, nonprofits or community groups a fair chance to buy the team before moving it out of state or shutting it down. It seeks to keep teams in their home cities, limit taxpayer subsidies for stadiums, and protect local economies.
