Summary

The bill would stop the federal government from overriding state or local rules that control land‑use, zoning, siting, or permitting for data centers built on non‑federal property. It affects data‑center developers and the state and local governments that regulate them, preserving local decision‑making power. This matters because it keeps local communities from losing control over how data‑center projects are placed and built.
