data centers; state lands; map

HB 4009 requires Arizona's state land department to create a map identifying state lands suitable for data center development within two years of the law's effective date. The department must consult with the data center industry when developing the map, which will guide future land use planning under Section 37-331.03. The map must be submitted to the governor, Senate President, House Speaker, and Secretary of State. This procedural bill, which failed to pass in February 2026, does not change existing laws but establishes a framework for future data center siting decisions.
