Prohibit public support, limit construction of, new data centers

Summary

The bill bars Ohio and its political subdivisions from giving tax credits, grants, loans or other incentives to build or operate new data centers. It also limits construction of such facilities, forbidding sites on prime farmland, public land, or within platted residential neighborhoods unless specific conditions are met, and requires developers to prove their electricity use won’t raise rates for other customers. The goal is to prevent public subsidies and protect land and utility costs.
