House Bill 2359

Pennsylvania legislators are addressing data center developments through multiple bills, including measures for emergency planning and local control over applications. A proposal to prohibit non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) faced opposition, with concerns about protecting trade secrets and local governance.

Pennsylvania legislators are advancing bills to tie data center tax breaks to transparency and sustainability requirements. The proposals aim to address secrecy around data center projects, such as non-disclosure agreements and lack of developer disclosure, while balancing economic benefits with community impacts like energy use and infrastructure strain.
