Summary
North Dakota House Bill 1427, introduced in the 2025 regular session, proposed to give the Public Service Commission authority over the siting compatibility of data centers under the energy conversion and transmission siting chapter. The House withdrew the bill from further consideration on 17 January 2025, four days after first reading, so it did not become law and creates no siting requirement.
What this does not establish
- The bill text (25.1159.01000) was not opened; the description relies on the official bill title.
- Whether the Public Service Commission has any data center siting authority under other law is not addressed by this record.
Unresolved questions
None recorded.
Relationships
Supersession means a later instrument replaces the earlier legal effect. Repeal links identify the repeal instrument and the measure it ends. A later implementation or related letter is not treated as a replacement unless the record says so.
- No related action is recorded.
