What it does
The bill stops new construction and upgrades of artificial intelligence data centers until Congress enacts laws requiring federal review and approval of AI products, job-loss protections for workers, and conditions for future data centers including no increases to utility bills, community approval, no subsidies, and union labor standards. The Secretary of Energy must submit quarterly reports to Congress and make them public, covering each center's energy and water use, emissions, and labor conditions. The Secretary of Commerce must block exports of AI computing hardware to countries without comparable laws.
