Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill, called the "data center water regulation act," would require new data centers in Michigan to use either a closed-loop cooling system or water from a municipal system. Data centers that violate these rules would face a civil fine of up to $1,000,000 per day and would have to stop operating. The Michigan Public Service Commission would be able to create rules to carry out this act.
