Bill Summary
This bill authorizes municipalities to regulate data centers in commercial and industrial zones.
AI Summary
This bill allows municipalities to regulate data centers, which are defined as facilities primarily used for storing, processing, managing, and transmitting digital data, with an exception for smaller facilities serving the on-site property owner's business needs and not leased to others. Specifically, it permits data centers to be located in commercial or industrial zones, subject to local land use rules, and empowers planning boards, with approval from local legislative bodies, to create necessary regulations. This measure aims to give local governments more control over where and how these facilities are established within their communities.
