New York A10141 imposes a moratorium on new data center permits and mandates a study on their environmental impact.

New York A10141 introduces a moratorium on the issuance of permits for new data centers. It requires the state's Department of Environmental Conservation to prepare an environmental impact report on data centers, focusing on their effects on electricity and gas rates, land use, pollution, and electronic waste. The report must be issued no sooner than eighteen months after the bill's enactment and will be subject to public comment. The Public Service Commission must then issue orders to minimize the impact of new data centers on electricity and gas rates.
