Creates new provisions related to the construction of data centers

Summary

The measure defines a “hyperscale data center” as a facility using at least 25 megawatts of power and bars such projects from agricultural, conservation, mixed‑use, and residential zones after August 28 2026. It also requires a 500‑foot native‑plant setback, noise‑abatement standards, public hearings, and approval by a new state‑level siting board. Utilities would be prohibited from charging impact fees to customers unless their usage matches the data center’s demand.
