Summary

The bill adds Chapter 63 to Title 53, directing the Center for Local Government Services to draft and publish a model zoning ordinance for data centers. It provides municipalities with optional guidelines, technical assistance, and an annual update, but does not force them to adopt the model. The goal is to standardize how local governments address the physical, environmental, and community impacts of data center projects.
