Data Centers

Summary

The bill bars any state, county, or municipal agency from signing nondisclosure agreements that keep the public from learning about potential data‑center developments, and makes such contracts void and subject to a $1,000 civil fine. It also creates new planning and permitting requirements for large‑load customers like data centers, including mandatory noise‑impact studies when sites are near homes or schools, and sets utility tariff rules to keep costs from shifting to other ratepayers. The measures aim to increase transparency, protect local communities, and ensure utilities charge large users fairly.
