No to NDAs? Proposals demanding more data center transparency gain bipartisan support

Proposals demanding greater transparency for data center projects are garnering bipartisan support within the Minnesota legislature. The proposed bills aim to ban non-disclosure agreements and mandate that local governments disclose more information regarding new data center developments. This legislative push is a direct response to concerns raised by opponents of hyperscale data centers. Demonstrations by data center opponents have taken place at the Minnesota State Capitol, highlighting the public desire for increased oversight and information. The bipartisan backing suggests a strong legislative interest in regulating data center development processes within the state, ensuring that communities have access to comprehensive details about proposed projects.
