SB 1408 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act prohibiting certain nondisclosure agreements between public agencies and data centers.

This bill prohibits Pennsylvania public agencies from entering into nondisclosure agreements with data center owners regarding the construction, development, or location of these facilities. The law ensures that any contract attempting to keep details about a data center's project or the agreement itself secret from the public is considered invalid and unenforceable. By banning such confidentiality clauses, the legislation aims to increase transparency around government interactions with data center developers. The changes apply to all state and local agencies and will take effect 60 days after the bill becomes law.
