Summary
The bill prohibits Virginia localities from granting final approval for any rezoning, special exception, special use permit, site plan, or development plan for a new data center. Approval can resume only after all existing requests for electric utility interconnection by data centers are fulfilled, or after July 1, 2028, whichever occurs first. The measure seeks to align data‑center development with available electricity infrastructure.
