We have received text from H.R. 10118: No Data Center NDAs Act. This bill was received on 2026-08-20, and currently has no cosponsors.
Here is a short summary of the bill:
This bill would stop members of Congress from signing nondisclosure agreements, or NDAs, when they are given information about the planning or development of a data center.
What counts as covered information
The ban would apply when the NDA is tied to access to information about things like:
- planned or received investments
- where a data center might be located
- construction designs
- water use
- energy use
Who is covered
The restriction would apply to Members of Congress , meaning Senators, Representatives, Delegates, and the Resident Commissioner.
What else the bill would do
The bill would also block federal money from being used to carry out or enforce any NDA covered by this rule. In addition, it would direct the ethics committees in both the House and Senate to write any needed regulations to implement the restriction.
Practical effect
In plain terms, the bill would prevent lawmakers from agreeing to keep data-center-related information secret as a condition of being briefed on it. That means information about proposed or developing data centers would be harder to keep confidential from members of Congress under an NDA.
Relevant Companies
- MSFT — Microsoft could be affected because it operates large data center projects and may share development details with government officials.
- AMZN — Amazon could be affected through its Amazon Web Services data center expansion and related site planning.
- GOOGL — Alphabet could be affected because it develops and expands data center infrastructure for cloud and AI services.
- META — Meta could be affected because it builds and operates data centers and may engage with officials on development plans.
- ORCL — Oracle could be affected through data center and cloud infrastructure projects that involve local or state government discussions.
- LLY and TXN are not directly relevant; none found for non-data-center-specific firms.
