What the legislation would do: The measure is described as a proposal to protect families, farmers, seniors and small businesses from paying costs tied to energy infrastructure for large data centers. It would require regulators in states without similar rules to hold a hearing on a federal standard and would leave states flexibility in how to apply it.
Background: Evans introduced the bill with Rep. Kathy Castor in June. The release says it had already passed the House Energy and Commerce Committee unanimously and was backed in the Senate by 53 Republicans and 4 Democrats, while Colorado Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper voted against advancing it.
