Policy intelligence brief
UT-SB 318 — Data Center Non Disclosure Amendments
This bill prohibits certain non-disclosure agreements between prospective data centers and state and local governments.
What the evidence says
Key findings
Disclosure & reporting · Moratorium
Forces a data center’s energy, water, and impact data into public view, so regulators, ratepayers, and communities can see figures operators would otherwise keep private. Check whether the policy creates, changes, or removes a development pause or prohibition, and which facilities and approvals it covers.
