Summary
The Protect American AI Act limits the ability of civil lawsuits to overturn or delay environmental permits for new data centers and related infrastructure. Courts must keep issued permits in effect and, if a violation is found, send the case back to the agency for correction rather than canceling the permit. The measure also creates fast‑track, time‑limited appellate review in the circuit where the facility is located.
