An Act amending the act of July 31, 1968 (P.L.805, No.247), known as the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, in general provisions, providing for pause on data center proposals.

Summary

This bill amends the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code to allow local governments to temporarily pause the approval of new data center proposals. It affects municipalities and data center developers by giving towns time to review zoning and infrastructure impacts before approving these high-energy facilities. This matters because data centers can strain local power grids and water supplies, and a pause allows communities to plan appropriately.
