Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) introduced a bill on Thursday that would cancel out any local or state tax incentives to data centers by imposing a 100% federal tax on any local tax break or incentive given to the AI infrastructure.
Moreno’s bill is called the Recapturing Excessive Corporate Largesse through Accountability and Incentive Measures, or RECLAIM, Act. It would also bar the federal government from handing out any federal incentives to data center companies, while also issuing a “sense of Congress” opinion that encourages states and localities to repeal their own data center incentives.
