A 2774 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits agreements intended to conceal certain information concerning development of data centers under MLUL.

This New Jersey bill (A 2774) prohibits data center developers from using non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to hide development details or prevent public review with municipalities, property sellers, or government agencies. It requires applicants to attest that no such NDAs were used in the real estate transaction and mandates that municipalities deny approval for data center projects violating these rules. The law specifically applies to data centers under the Municipal Land Use Law (MLUL), not other construction projects. It deems prohibited agreements "against public policy and unenforceable" while aligning with existing open government laws like the Senator Byron M. Baer Open Public Meetings Act.
