Q&A on Data Center Legislation with Tim Bernard

Join us for an introduction to the new HHN Data Center Policy Tracker, a comprehensive legislative tracking database covering data center bills across the United States.

You’ll meet Tim Bernard, the policy expert leading this initiative, will explain his methodology for tracking and categorizing legislation, demonstrate early examples of the tracker, and discuss how this tool will empower community advocates to stay informed and take action on data center policy.

The session will also feature discussion about the challenges of tracking legislation across different state systems, set realistic expectations about update frequency and limitations, and gather community feedback to help shape the final product before the official launch on February 20th.

This is a pre-launch event to give you a chance to bring questions, suggestions, and meet others working on the issues.
