From the SEMA Washington, D.C., office
SEMA and PRI are leading a national effort to protect racetracks from NIMBY-generated nuisance complaints and lawsuits. Here’s the latest:
Right-to-race legislation in Wisconsin continues to enjoy positive momentum, with the Wisconsin State Assembly recently passing AB 880 with no opposition.
The bill protects long-standing race tracks from nuisance-based lawsuits brought by nearby property owners who moved into the area after the tracks were already established.
- The legislation now moves to the Senate, where it must pass the Senate Transportation and Local Government Committee before it reaches the Senate floor.
In Wisconsin, SEMA and PRI emphasized that many motorsports facilities are small, multi-generational businesses built through decades of hard work, as well as personal and community investment.
