An Act providing for the public safety regulation of large load users; requiring the submission of emergency operations plans and generalized infrastructure inventories as a condition of occupancy; protecting confidential security information; and providing for enforcement and penalties.
Laid on the table
Summary
The bill mandates that any facility using 25 MW or more of power to run computer hardware—commonly called a large load user—must submit a detailed emergency floor plan and a summary of hazardous assets to the local fire official before a certificate of occupancy is issued. The information is treated as confidential security data and the owners face civil fines or possible revocation of occupancy if they fail to comply. The goal is to improve public‑safety planning for high‑risk data centers while protecting sensitive operational details.
