LAKELAND, Fla. —Today, Governor Ron DeSantis signed SB 484, which protects ratepayers, the environment, and local communities from harm caused by hyperscale data centers.
“Today in Lakeland, I signed legislation to protect our citizens and communities from hyperscale data centers. These are much-needed protections for taxpayers and our natural resources,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “SB 484 ensures that local governments maintain the authority to reject data center development in their communities, prevents data center costs from being passed on to consumers, including electricity costs, and protects Florida’s water resources from data center consumption.”
