AI Data Center Site Selection Transparency Act of 2026
Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Summary
The AI Data Center Site Selection Transparency Act would force any company planning an AI‑focused data center to publicly announce where it will be built, the resources needed, and the expected environmental effects at least 180 days before taking a decisive step toward construction. The rule also limits the use of nondisclosure agreements and makes the FTC responsible for enforcement. It aims to give local officials and the public early notice so they can assess community and environmental impacts.
