Abstract
(HB6140 · 103rd Legislature) Public employees and officers: other; nondisclosure agreements related to the construction of data centers; prohibit. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: HB 6135’26, HB 6141’26, HB 6137’26, HB 6138’26, HB 6142’26, HB 6139’26 Latest action (2026-06-30): Bill Electronically Reproduced 06/25/2026
Why this matters
As Michigan courts significant data center investment, this bill would guarantee that public officials cannot be contractually silenced about publicly-consequential construction projects, giving taxpayers and workers visibility into deals that often involve major tax abatements and local impacts. Combined with its tie-barred package on zoning, community benefits, and acoustic permitting, it signals a legislative push to condition data center incentives on transparency and accountability.
