The U.S. Data Center Moratorium Tracker was refreshed on September 28, 2026. This is the record of what changed since the previous refresh on September 23, 2026. Every entry below links to the primary source behind it.

Where the count stands

Of the 46 states with a state-level measure on the tracker, 29 have a restriction in force, 1 are under an active administrative pause, 11 have a measure pending, and 5 saw their most advanced measure fail or be vetoed.

New state measures this period

• Maryland, Executive Order 01.01.2026.16: Responsible Data Center Development framework and review task force. Gov. Wes Moore signed an executive order on Sept. 23, 2026, effective immediately, creating a Maryland Data Center Task Force that reviews every data center of 25 MW or more that seeks any state action, rates each as Aligned, Conditionally Aligned or Not Aligned with a five-part framework, and publishes a monthly public dashboard. It does not pause construction; state permits, approvals and incentives are to be informed by each project’s alignment with the framework. Source
• Nevada, Executive Order 2026-005: Nevada Standard for Responsible Data Center Development. Gov. Joe Lombardo signed Executive Order 2026-005 on Sept. 18, 2026, adding conditions to the state’s data center tax abatement program.

It is not a moratorium. Source

Removals

No entries were removed. The tracker merges forward: a sourced entry stays on the list unless a new source shows its status changed or it was formally repealed.

How this tracker is maintained

The tracker is refreshed weekly. Every entry requires a verifiable primary source: a legislature page, a governor’s office, a local government record, or established news reporting. Entries are merged rather than replaced, so a measure verified in an earlier week is not dropped because a later pass did not resurface it. Where a measure is single-sourced or a date could not be independently confirmed, the entry says so.

The full dataset, with a filterable map and all 1010 citations, is at the U.S. Data Center Moratorium Tracker. The complete source list is at the tracker’s sources page.
