Senate Bill 484 Data Center Regulation

awarded

Senate Bill 484 is legislation passed by the Florida Senate that requires large-scale data centers moving into Florida communities to be more transparent with the public. It prohibits government agencies from signing nondisclosure agreements with large load customers, gives local governments authority over planning and land development regulations, and mandates the Public Service Commission to develop minimum large-load tariff requirements for public electric utilities to ensure data centers pay their own service costs. The bill also prevents public utilities from providing electric service to foreign entity large-load customers.
