This bill amends Arkansas Code 8-10-305 to modify the permitting process for motor vehicle racing facilities in certain rural locations. It expands the definition of a motor vehicle racing facility to include all-terrain recreational parks and specifies the types of vehicles that can be used for racing, including modified and non-modified automobiles, trucks, all-terrain vehicles, and motorcycles. The bill establishes that new facilities constructed after August 31, 2021, must be located at least one mile from the boundary of a city of the first or second class unless a written waiver is provided by the city mayor. Additionally, it requires applicants to submit detailed proposals, including noise level projections, traffic estimates, and proof of liability insurance, and mandates that public hearings be held for permit applications.

The bill also introduces several restrictions and requirements for motor vehicle racing facilities, including a maximum noise level of 75 decibels at the property line, the establishment of quiet hours from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., and the imposition of a $1,000 daily fine for violations. It allows neighboring property owners to sue for loss of property value and quality of life, and it requires annual renewal of permits. The quorum court is designated as the authority to issue permits and set related fees, and the bill declares an emergency due to the environmental and public peace concerns associated with motor vehicle racing facilities in rural areas, making the act effective immediately upon approval.
