Scope
House Bill 5399 of 2025 would create the data center nondisclosure agreement prohibition act, barring elected officials of a county, city, village, township or other political subdivision from entering into nondisclosure agreements that make the construction of a data center (an enterprise data center as defined in MCL 205.54ee) confidential or bar parties from discussing it, with a civil fine of up to $1,000 and nonconforming agreements void. It was introduced and referred to the House Committee on Economic Competitiveness on 18 December 2025, with no later action recorded as of 23 September 2026.

Summary
House Bill 5399 of the 2025-2026 Michigan session would bar local elected officials from signing nondisclosure agreements about the construction of enterprise data centers, with a civil fine and voiding of such agreements. It was introduced and referred to the House Committee on Economic Competitiveness on 18 December 2025. It is a proposal, not law; House Bill 6140 of 2026 is a separate, later bill on the same subject.
