40-second read · 4 questions answered below
This bill would stop members of Congress from signing nondisclosure agreements with governments or companies to obtain information about data center projects, such as investment plans, location, design, and water or energy use. No federal money could be used to enforce such NDAs, making them effectively unenforceable if federal funds are involved. House and Senate ethics committees would write rules to implement the ban.
Members of Congress would lose the option to sign these confidentiality agreements. Companies and local governments building data centers would also be affected, as would the public, who may gain easier access to information lawmakers learn.
The change could make it easier for lawmakers to publicly share details about data center projects, including environmental impacts, in their districts or states.
