Prohibits agreements intended to conceal certain information concerning development of data centers under MLUL.
This New Jersey bill prohibits developers of data centers from using non-disclosure agreements to hide details about their projects from the public or local officials. It declares such secrecy deals unenforceable and requires applicants to certify that no agreements were made to conceal development plans during property transactions. Local agencies must deny approval for any data center project where the developer violates these transparency rules. The law specifically targets data centers and does not apply to other types of construction.
