🚨DATA CENTERS IMMUNITY ALERT🚨
*************(HB 126)****************
HB 126 was written by the Ohio Chamber of Commerce and introduced by Rep. Meredith Craig & Rep. Adam Matthews. It has already passed the House and could get a vote in Senate Judiciary tomorrow! If a data center causes damage beyond physical property damage, the local government under HB 126 would NOT be able to sue the data center to recover that loss.
Under HB 126, If a disaster happens with respect to a data center – guess who is going to pick up the tab?—- WE ARE!
There’s a situation in Georgia, where the data centers used FAR more water than the owners says it would. Under HB 126 if a data center drains a local community of available water, the community cannot sue for the damage caused to residents or local farmers!!
This bill thus protects Blackstone private equity at the expense of citizens and ohio farmers. It’s up for a vote in judiciary committee tomorrow!!
EMAIL JUDICIARY COMMITTEE MEMBERS & SENATE PRESIDENT MCCOLLEY TODAY!
“Protect our right to sue data centers if they strip water from our local water supply or our farmlands! VOTE NO on HB 126.”
