AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.

Starting with communities in mind: this bill bars state agencies, cities, towns, and counties from signing secrecy agreements — called non-disclosure agreements — with large data centers (facilities using 20 megawatts of electricity or more) that are still in the permitting or approval process. Any such agreement is automatically void and unenforceable, and governments that enter into one must post it publicly on their website within 30 days and keep it posted for at least five years. Residents can sue in district court to have these agreements declared void or to force a government to comply with the disclosure requirement.
