Florida Senate Advances Bills to Regulate Data Centers' Operations and Costs
DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
The Florida Senate's Regulated Industries Committee has advanced two bills aimed at regulating data centers, including SB 484, which prohibits non-disclosure agreements and establishes tariffing rules for large power customers, and SB 1118, which protects proprietary information and restricts local officials from sharing business plans. Sponsored by Sen. Bryan Ávila, the bills seek to balance environmental concerns with business interests and will move to the Senate Community Affairs Committee before a floor vote.
