Model Bill Demands from the Responsible Data Center Development Act Zine
This zine lays out the Responsible Data Center Development Act, ORDCD’s model bill for Oregon. It opens with a three-year moratorium on new large-scale data centers, buying time to build a regulatory framework that protects Oregonians. From there it sets standards for noise, light, and water pollution, transparency rules with no NDAs, and protections for farm and forest land. Residential, agricultural, and public users come first on power and water.

Responsible Data Center Development Act Information Sheet
The Responsible Data Center Development Act gives Oregon the tools to catch up. It pauses new construction. It sets real health and safety standards. It gives the neighbors next door a say.
Data centers are expanding across Oregon faster than our laws can keep up. Utility bills are climbing.
Water supplies are straining under the demand. Without warning, without accountability, new facilities move into neighborhoods.
