The Neighbor Lawsuits Bill
Racing tracks get immunity from neighbor lawsuits under emergency bill
AN ACT relating to motorsports racing facilities and declaring an emergency.
Bad for everyday people ·
If passed, racing facilities could not be sued for noise or other problems if they were built before nearby land was bought or built on.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Neighbors of a race track would lose the chance to sue if the track was there first. That means any noise, traffic, or other trouble stays with them. The bill helps track owners, not everyday people.
