No Data Center NDAs Act

Ban NDAs for data center planning

If enacted, Members of Congress would be prohibited from signing nondisclosure agreements with state or local governments or private entities as a condition for getting information about data center planning or development. Covered information would include planned or received investments, location planning, construction designs, and water or energy resource consumption. The House Committee on Ethics and the Senate Select Committee on Ethics would have to write regulations to carry out the ban. No funds appropriated or otherwise made available from the U.S. Treasury could be used to implement or enforce those NDAs, and this change would take effect upon enactment.
