Education, data centers and more: Here’s what Kentucky lawmakers advanced this week

The Kentucky General Assembly is advancing legislation, particularly Senate Bill 197, which aims to regulate new data center development. This bill seeks to prevent utility infrastructure costs for energy-intensive data centers from being passed to current ratepayers and requires data centers to adhere to local zoning rules to qualify for state tax breaks. Louisville Gas & Electric and Kentucky Utilities have expressed opposition to parts of the bill.
