HF16, legislation to regulate data centers in Minnesota, passes House 6/9/25

In one of its final acts of the 2025 special session, the House passed a bill setting environmental and energy regulatory requirements for data centers, and modifying their sales and use tax exemptions. Sponsored by Rep. Greg Davids (R-Preston), SSHF16 was passed 85-43 and sent to the Senate. After expected passage there, it would be sent to the governor. Data centers are buildings (or sections of buildings) that house a technology company’s information technology hardware. They are basically the facilities that run the internet and mobile applications. And they are getting bigger and using more electricity and more water as a cooling agent for their equipment.
