No Secrets for Data Centers Act of 2026
Refreshed 1 h ago
Introduced 2026-09-24Topic: technology privacySummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would make certain nondisclosure clauses tied to building data centers void and unenforceable in court and arbitration. It covers clauses agreed to before a lawsuit is filed when a public official is a party to the contract or when the contract involves public funds, public land, or a public incentive. It would also bar data center operators from receiving public incentives, such as tax breaks, loans, grants, or bonds, that require them to agree to limit disclosure of information about building a data center. A data center is defined as a facility or group of facilities mainly holding computing equipment with more than 50 megawatts of power capacity or projected peak load. The bill applies only to claims filed on or after it becomes law and still allows confidential filings with state utility regulators.
