New data center moratorium established, and Public Utility Commission required to submit a report.

Summary

The bill bars state and local governments from approving any new data‑center permits until at least one calendar year after the Public Utility Commission submits a comprehensive report on the facilities’ energy, water, environmental and economic effects. The report must examine usage, impacts on wildlife, tribal rights, local and state economies, and recommend suitable locations, with tribal consultation and conflict‑of‑interest safeguards for any contractor preparing it.
