Assembly Bill 880 aims to establish new legal protections for racing facilities in Wisconsin by creating two new statutes, 66.0443 and 823.086. The bill stipulates that a racing facility, defined as a racetrack and its associated areas, cannot be deemed a public nuisance if the complaint is filed by a property owner within a five-mile radius of the facility who purchased or improved their property after the facility was constructed or operational. This provision is designed to prevent nuisance claims from individuals who move near existing racing facilities and later seek to challenge their operations.

Additionally, the bill prohibits local governments from regulating racing facilities in ways that conflict with the new provisions, thereby reinforcing the protections afforded to these facilities. The intent is to ensure that racing facilities can operate without the threat of nuisance lawsuits from nearby property owners who may have been aware of the facility's existence prior to their property acquisition or improvements. This legislation reflects a broader effort to support the motorsports industry while balancing the interests of local communities.
