Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that every American and community impacted by the construction or operation of an artificial intelligence data center should have the right to transparency and local autonomy.
This bill, HR1471, aims to ensure that every American and community affected by artificial intelligence (AI) data centers have the right to know what is happening and have a say in local decisions. It emphasizes the importance of transparency and local autonomy when it comes to the construction and operation of these AI data centers.
The bill would primarily affect those living near AI data centers and local communities that might be impacted by their operations. By ensuring transparency, it would allow communities to understand the implications and benefits of these data centers. Local autonomy means that communities can have a voice in how these facilities are managed and regulated within their area.
HR1471 was introduced on August 3, 2026, and was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Committee on the Judiciary for further consideration. As of now, the bill is in the early stages of the legislative process.
