MI HB5652

Property owners or occupants within 5 miles of a racing facility or racetrack cannot bring nuisance, taking, or similar lawsuits against the facility if the track existed before they purchased or built on their property.

Immunity applies even if the racing facility changes its size, scope, configuration, technology, or type of racing conducted, as long as those changes are lawful.

The law applies retroactively to all claims filed on or after the effective date, regardless of when the alleged cause of action arose.

Racing facilities must still comply with state and federal environmental laws and health and safety regulations despite the immunity protections.

"Racing facility or racetrack" is defined to include the track, spectator areas, garages, and associated grounds, buildings, or appurtenances used for competitive vehicle and motorsport races.
