"Responsible Data Center Development and Resource Protection Act"; establishes Statewide framework concerning siting, land use approval, energy sourcing, water use, and environmental impacts of large load data center development.

This bill creates a statewide framework to regulate the development of large data centers that consume significant amounts of electricity and water. It requires developers to submit a detailed impact statement to the State Planning Commission before seeking local approval, covering issues like energy demand, water usage, environmental effects, and traffic. The legislation specifically directs that these facilities be located on brownfields or in industrial corridors to protect sensitive lands and overburdened communities. Additionally, the impact statement must include plans for alternative energy generation, water recycling, and grid reliability measures.
