Ohio lawmakers fail to reach agreement on data center regulations

Ohio lawmakers failed to pass Substitute House Bill 646, which aimed to reduce tax exemptions for data centers from 100% to 50%, before summer recess. The bill faced opposition due to concerns over tax breaks for companies like Meta, Google, and Amazon, and debates over environmental regulations like water usage and transparency. The House may reconvene in June to revisit the issue.
