AN ACT relating to data centers.

From the Legislature

Create a new section of KRS Chapter 61 to define "data center," "nondisclosure or confidentiality agreement," and "public agency"; prohibit public agencies from entering into a nondisclosure or confidentiality agreement relating to a data center that expands confidentiality beyond what is authorized by the Kentucky Revised Statutes; provide that contractual provisions relating to data centers that waive, supersede, or expand the requirements of the Kentucky Open Records Act or Kentucky Open Meetings Act are void; provide that certain information be made publicly available when certain data center-related actions are taken or documents are executed; provide that aggregated data concerning projected or actual impacts on public utilities and certain other public areas shall not be deemed confidential solely because the information relates to a data center project; prohibit a nondisclosure or confidentiality agreement from restricting the authority of a local public official to discuss data center impacts or public participation, hearings, or proceedings otherwise require by law.
