No AI Data Centers on Federal Lands Act
To prohibit Artificial Intelligence Data Centers on Federal land.
HB9939 is a bill that seeks to prevent the establishment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Data Centers on federal lands. The bill aims to address concerns about the environmental impact and resource consumption associated with such data centers. If passed, it would restrict where these facilities can be built, potentially limiting their presence on lands managed by the federal government.
This bill would affect companies and organizations planning to build AI Data Centers, as well as federal land managers and environmental regulators. By prohibiting these facilities on federal land, the bill aims to protect natural resources and mitigate environmental harm.
HB9939 was introduced on July 23, 2026, and has been referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources for further consideration. As of now, the bill is in the initial stages of the legislative process and will undergo committee review and potential amendments before it can be voted on by the full House.
