Data Centers

Summary

The bill creates new state statutes that give local governments control over land‑use planning for high‑electric‑load facilities, sets utility tariff rules so data centers pay their own costs, and establishes a water‑permit framework for large‑scale data centers. It also requires an independent study of the economic and environmental impacts of such facilities. The measures aim to protect ratepayers, preserve water resources, and provide clearer oversight of data‑center development.
