What this means

The measure imposes a one-year moratorium on commercial data centers, creating a major barrier to starting or expanding projects during that period. The sources do not give the full law text, so they do not show whether existing data center operations are affected or whether exceptions apply.

Timing

Exact effective date, expiration and extension mechanisms are unverified without the full enacted text. The separate hearing resolution limits its interim application pause to no longer than 55 days after the resolution date; that date is unstated.
