Pennsylvania Advances Legislation Allowing Motorsports to Resume

By SEMA Washington, D.C., Staff

Racing The Pennsylvania House Committee on State Government passed SEMA-supported legislation that would allow outdoor recreational activities, including motorsports, to resume immediately under certain conditions.

The Pennsylvania House Committee on State Government passed SEMA-supported legislation (H.B. 2489) that would allow outdoor recreational activities, including motorsports, to resume immediately under certain conditions. The bill now awaits consideration by the entire House of Representatives.

Currently, Pennsylvania’s emergency Business Closure Order does not allow any recreational activity businesses, such as spectator sports, to operate. The bill requires such activities to adhere to the social distancing practices and other mitigation measures defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).  

For more information and to contact legislators in support of this proposal, visit the SEMA Action Network (SAN) website.
