HB 3177 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Establishes provisions relating to nuisance actions against racing facilities and race tracks

HB 3177 prevents lawsuits against racing facilities (like racetracks and supporting areas) for typical activities such as noise, traffic, or dust, provided they operate with all required permits and in compliance with laws. It specifically shields facilities from nuisance claims by nearby property owners who purchased land or built structures *after* the facility obtained its permits and established legal rights. The law does not protect facilities that violate environmental, safety, or noise laws, or engage in reckless conduct. This applies to both private lawsuits and government enforcement actions.
