Michigan Senate Democrats are advocating for stricter regulations on data centers regarding energy use and worker conditions. Sen. Rosemary Bayer emphasized the need for legislation to address potential environmental and community impacts from data centers.

Michigan Senate Democrats introduced a package of bills to regulate data centers, addressing community concerns about energy costs, water resource impacts, and lack of local benefits. The proposals include water-use permits, clean energy requirements, and protections for ratepayers.
