Protecting Local Control of Data Centers Act

The Protecting Local Control of Data Centers Act prohibits federal agencies from overriding state or local authority over the zoning, siting, and permitting of data centers built on non-federal land. The bill also prevents federal agencies from conditioning financial assistance on a local government's agreement to limit its regulatory power in this area. This legislation directly affects state and local governments by ensuring they retain full control over decisions regarding where data centers can be located within their jurisdictions.
