Summary

The bill mandates that any city, town, or county reviewing a rezoning, conditional use, or special use petition for a data center must conduct at least two public hearings. It also forces the municipality to publish specific project information—including applicant name, end‑user, location, size, security staffing, and utility needs—at least 48 hours before each hearing and before any vote. The aim is to give residents clear, advance notice about large data‑center developments.
