Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This resolution states the view of the House of Representatives that it should pass a "Data Center Bill of Rights" for people and communities affected by artificial intelligence data centers. The listed rights include banning data centers within 2,500 feet of homes, schools, childcare facilities, hospitals or nursing homes, and letting counties and cities prohibit or regulate data centers without state override. It also calls for independent public impact reports before approval, no electricity rate increases for households or small businesses, and disclosure of water use to local water providers. The resolution is a statement of position and does not itself create law.
