SB1646

AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7 and Title 29, relative to racing facilities.

Introduced·1/14/26

Tennessee SB1646 grants immunity to racing facilities from certain legal claims by surrounding property owners.

Tennessee SB1646 amends state law to provide immunity for racing facilities from legal actions brought by surrounding property owners under nuisance, taking, or other theories. This immunity applies if the racing facility was built before the surrounding property owner purchased their property or if it was built within a five-mile radius of the racing facility. The immunity covers changes to the facility's size, scope, configuration, technology, or type of racing, as long as these changes are lawful.
