Senate Bill 872 aims to establish new regulations regarding nuisance actions against racing facilities in Wisconsin. The bill specifies 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, and if the facility was already constructed or operational before the property owner purchased or improved their property. This provision seeks to protect existing racing facilities from nuisance claims that may arise after new property owners move into the vicinity.

Additionally, the bill prohibits political subdivisions, such as cities and counties, from regulating the operation of racing facilities in a manner that contradicts the provisions outlined in the bill. This aims to ensure that local regulations do not interfere with the established rights of racing facilities, thereby providing them with a level of protection against potential nuisance claims and local government restrictions. The bill introduces new sections 66.0443 and 823.086 to the statutes, detailing these provisions and their applicability.
