A bill titled the Protecting Local Control of Data Centers Act was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. It has been referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce for review.
Why it matters: This is a standard legislative introduction. It signals that members of Congress are considering how local zoning and permitting rules apply to data centers. Until it moves through committee and the full chamber, it does not change any existing regulations or local control over data center projects.
