Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill prohibits federal agencies from overriding state and local zoning, land-use, and permitting decisions for data centers built on privately owned land. It also prevents the federal government from conditioning federal funding for data centers on states or localities giving up their authority to regulate where these facilities can be located. The legislation is designed to preserve local control over how communities develop and use land for data center projects, preventing the federal government from forcing communities to accept data centers against their local wishes. The bill does not include specific funding allocations or implementation timelines, and it applies only to data centers on non-federal property, leaving federal land subject to different rules.
