Summary

The bill would create a new regulatory framework for data centers that use 206 megawatts or more, requiring them to pay a separate electricity tariff and sign long‑term service contracts. It also would force developers to obtain a state "certificate of public good" before building, based on environmental, economic and community criteria. The measure was vetoed by the governor and the veto was upheld by the legislature.
