What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates an income and franchise tax credit in an amount equal to the

amount a person paid in the taxable year for items that are either energy efficient

or have a minimal environmental impact and that are used to construct or operate

a "green data center." Under the bill, a green data center is a repository for the

storage, management, and dissemination of data, if the mechanical, lighting,

electrical, and computer systems of the real property in which the repository is

located are designed for maximum energy efficiency and minimum environmental

impact.
