Although Gov. J.B. Pritzker said he expected a bill regulating data centers to be ready for fall veto session, the Illinois House majority leader says lame duck session in early January is more likely.
State Rep. Robyn Gabel told The Center Square she had a long meeting about the POWER Act on Thursday.
Gabel said at a press conference in Chicago last April that lawmakers would pass her data center legislation.
House Bill 5513 includes provisions to ban cost shifting, ensure data centers power their own operations and provide clean energy incentives.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker said last month he expected a bill to be ready for fall veto session, which is scheduled to begin on November 17.
