Summary
The bill amends several state laws to impose new environmental, water and energy rules on large data centers in Illinois. It obligates these facilities to conduct cumulative impact assessments, obtain water‑impact permits, follow strict energy codes, and pay annual fees that create community‑benefit and affordability funds. It also mandates regular water and energy reporting and requires municipalities to adopt an automated solar‑permit platform by 2027.
