Read FactVote summary
The bill would prohibit construction or upgrading of defined artificial intelligence data centers beginning on enactment until laws establish specified safety, worker, environmental, community-approval, subsidy, and labor requirements and expressly end the moratorium. It would require the Secretary of Energy to submit and publish quarterly reports on each data center, including energy, water, emissions, jobs, and subsidies. It would also direct the Secretary of Commerce to prohibit certain exports, reexports, and in-country transfers of computing infrastructure hardware for use in artificial intelligence data centers or large-scale model training or deployment in countries lacking comparable laws.
