AI governance
Bills on how AI systems are built, tested, disclosed, and used, from safety requirements to rules on automated decisions.
AI & data center legislation tracker
Follow the laws being written for AI and the data centers that power it.
Poison Fountain tracks proposed legislation on artificial intelligence and data center development, from Congress and statehouses to county zoning boards, so you can see what's coming and speak up while it still counts.
What we track
Four fronts where the rules are being set
Data center siting
Zoning changes, permits, and land-use rules that decide where large data centers can go and who gets a say.
Energy & water
Utility rate cases, grid upgrades, and water permits tied to data center demand, and who ends up paying for them.
Incentives & tax breaks
Sales-tax exemptions, abatements, and other public subsidies offered to attract data center projects.
National and local
The biggest decisions often happen closest to home
Federal debates get the headlines, but a lot of what shapes AI and data centers is decided in state capitols, utility commissions, and county meetings with little notice. Choose the updates that matter to you.
