IN HB1415

Racing facilities and racetracks cannot be deemed a public or private nuisance in lawsuits brought by property owners who purchased or improved property within a 5-mile radius after the racetrack began operations

Protection applies regardless of changes to the racetrack's size, configuration, technology, type of racing conducted, or ownership

Political subdivisions are prohibited from adopting ordinances that would restrict racetrack operations in a manner inconsistent with the nuisance protections

Protections do not apply if a nuisance results from negligent operation of the racing facility, and racetracks must still comply with federal, state, and local health or safety laws
