Data centers prohibited in certain districts.

HF 1109 prohibits new enterprise data centers (defined as facilities over 800,000 square feet for digital data storage) in most local zoning districts, affecting municipalities' land-use decisions. The bill allows such centers only as a conditional use within designated industrial districts, which are areas legally set aside for manufacturing. It does not ban data centers entirely but restricts their locations to industrial zones, requiring local approval processes. The law takes effect June 20, 2025, applying to all new data centers built after that date.
