   Title

   Will any state enact data center moratorium legislation before Jan 1, 2028?

   Outcome

   Before Jan 1, 2028

   Rules

   If legislation that temporarily or indefinitely prohibits, suspends, or pauses the approval, permitting, construction, connection to the electrical grid or other utility infrastructure, or operation of new data centers, or a defined category of new data centers, within the enacting state has become law in any U.S. state before Jan 1, 2028, then the market resolves to Yes.

   More rules

   Enactment requires completion of all constitutional and legal requirements for the legislation to become binding law.

   Standard legislation requiring executive approval: final passage by all required legislative bodies, executive signature OR becoming law despite executive inaction OR successful veto override, and satisfaction of any required waiting periods
   Legislation not requiring executive approval: final passage and completion of required waiting periods

   The following do NOT constitute enactment:

   Legislative passage without completed executive action
   Passage by only some required bodies
   Provisional passage
   Non-binding resolutions
   Draft orders

   Enactment occurs when all requirements are completed, regardless of pending judicial challenges.

   Only legislation enacted by a state legislature after Issuance qualifies. Executive orders, agency, utility-commission or permitting decisions, citizen-initiated ballot measures, and local ordinances do not qualify. A law that only limits tax incentives, sets electricity rates or cost allocation, sets siting standards, or orders a study does not qualify. A moratorium limited to a defined category of new data centers, such as those above a power-demand threshold, qualifies.
