Summary

The bill blocks state and local approval of any new 100‑megawatt‑plus datacenter from August 1 2026 to August 1 2028 while a university‑run study examines electricity, water, air quality, property values and other impacts. It also creates new sales‑and‑use‑tax exemption paperwork that all datacenters must file annually, and requires the state to track the revenue lost from those exemptions. The findings will guide future legislation on datacenter siting and incentives.
