Maryland HB120

Maryland HB120 is in committee.

This bill places a statewide ban on new data center construction, preventing both private builders and government bodies from proceeding with new projects. The moratorium would automatically end if Maryland passes separate legislation specifically addressing data centers built alongside natural gas, nuclear, or small modular reactor power facilities.
