Summary
The joint resolution bars state, county, municipal and other political subdivisions from granting final approval for any permits, incentives or related requests for new data centers until January 1, 2028. It also supplies a detailed definition of what counts as a data center. The pause gives lawmakers time to consider the impacts of such facilities before allowing further development.
