Passed 1st Reading
Summary
The bill creates a two‑year moratorium on approvals for large datacenters while a university‑run study examines their effects on the electric grid, water, air quality and property values. It also requires datacenters to obtain annual sales‑tax exemption certificates and to report detailed spending and employment data, with the state estimating lost tax revenue. The goal is to give lawmakers data before allowing further datacenter development.
