Bill Summary
Prohibiting certain nondisclosure agreements between public agencies and data centers.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Data Center Nondisclosure Agreement Prohibition Act, aims to increase transparency by preventing public agencies from entering into agreements with data centers that would restrict the disclosure of information about the data center, its construction, development, location, or the agreement itself. A "data center" is defined as a facility primarily used for housing servers or data storage systems, equipped with backup power and cooling systems, while a "public agency" refers to any state or local government entity as defined by Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know Law. Any agreement that violates this prohibition will be considered void and unenforceable, meaning it will have no legal standing.
