The "Responsible Data Center Development and Resource Protection Act" establishes a Statewide framework for the siting, land use approval, energy sourcing, water use, and environmental impacts of large load data center development.

The commission reviews the impact statement and may approve or deny it within 60 days. If not reviewed within this period, the commission is deemed to have granted approval.
