The proposed bill, H.B. No. 2025-2026, seeks to enact section 3767.52 of the Revised Code, which establishes a complete defense against nuisance claims related to racing facilities and racetracks. The bill defines key terms such as "area of the racing facility and racetrack," "ordinary and anticipated activities," and "racing facility and racetrack." It stipulates that if a person owns real property within a five-mile radius of a racing facility and racetrack and has either purchased the property or constructed a building after the racing facility's completion, they cannot successfully bring a nuisance claim if the racing facility is lawfully operating and the claim is based on typical activities associated with the facility.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that this complete defense remains applicable regardless of any lawful changes to the racing facility's size, scope, or technology. However, it does not exempt racing facilities from adhering to state or federal environmental laws or health and safety regulations, nor does it protect them from claims related to physical damage or personal injury. Furthermore, the bill prohibits counties or townships from enacting resolutions that conflict with its provisions.
