Maddy summaryHB 957 prevents the state from offering new sales tax exemptions for computer data centers, meaning future projects will not receive special breaks on taxes for purchasing or installing equipment. The bill defines specific criteria for what qualifies as a data center, including requirements for significant capital investment and job creation, but it stops the tax credit authority from granting these benefits to any new applicants. While the law allows existing agreements to remain in effect, it ensures that no future data center projects can secure tax-free status for their equipment purchases. This change directly affects technology companies and developers planning to build or expand data centers in the state after the bill takes effect.
