Establishing Right to Race Act

SB 655, the Right to Race Act, grants legal immunity to existing West Virginia racetracks from nuisance lawsuits brought by neighbors who purchased property after the track was built. It protects racetracks from claims related to noise, disturbances, or other issues if the surrounding property was acquired later. The law also prevents local governments from passing ordinances that would restrict racetrack operations conflicting with this immunity. This applies only to racetracks operating before adjacent property ownership changed.
