Public employees and officers: other; local officials signing nondisclosure agreements related to the construction of data centers; prohibit. Creates new act.

HB 5399 prohibits elected local officials (like mayors or city council members) from signing secret agreements about data center construction. It bans any nondisclosure clause that hides details of data center projects from public discussion. Violators face a $1,000 civil fine, and any violating agreement is void and unenforceable. The law applies to all such agreements entered into after its effective date.
