Require data center water consumption reports

Summary

The bill obligates any data center that withdraws state water to measure and submit monthly and annual water‑use reports to the chief of the division of water resources. It also forbids data centers from signing nondisclosure agreements that stop political subdivisions from discussing the centers’ water consumption, with violations punishable by a fine of up to $1,000. The attorney general may enforce the fine and the chief must issue rules and publish a compiled annual report for lawmakers.
