Enacted

This Act imposes a moratorium, through January 31, 2027, on all applications and permits related to the development of large-scale data centers in this State.

This Act requires a greater than majority vote for passage because § 1 of Article IX of the Delaware Constitution requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members elected to each house of the General Assembly to amend a municipal charter, whether directly, by amendment to a specific municipality’s charter, or as in this Act, indirectly by a general law.
