Summary

The bill eliminates the sales and use tax exemption for personal property purchased for qualified data centers and removes the ability of counties or municipalities to lower or waive property tax on that equipment. It would affect data center developers and owners who currently rely on these tax breaks. The change is intended to close the loophole and increase state and local tax revenue.
