A group of GOP state senators in Georgia introduced Senate Bill 410 to repeal tax credits for data centers. The bill prohibits new sales and use tax exemptions for high-technology data centers. Nine Republicans support the bill, including Senators Blake Tillery and Greg Dolezal, both running for lieutenant governor.

A bipartisan bill aims to move the sunset date for tax exemptions to January 1 of next year. The debate over data centers has intensified, with concerns over their impact on local infrastructure and utility costs. A report indicated data centers created over 28,000 construction jobs and 5,000 permanent jobs, significantly contributing to the economy.
