The resolution authorizes Senator King to introduce a non-appropriation bill aimed at amending the Arkansas Data Centers Act of 2023. The proposed legislation will require digital asset mining businesses to pay an annual fee to the Department of Energy and Environment based on their extraordinary electrical energy usage. The fee structure is tiered, with charges ranging from $25,000 for usage between 1 MW and 2.49 MW, up to $100,000 for usage exceeding 10 MW in any given month. Additionally, the bill outlines oversight and monitoring procedures for these businesses to ensure compliance and accuracy in reporting their energy consumption.

The resolution also stipulates that if a digital asset mining business begins operations after the bill's effective date, it must provide a good faith estimate of its anticipated electrical energy usage and pay the corresponding fees. The Department of Energy and Environment is tasked with implementing rules to enforce these provisions, and the proceeds from the fees will be allocated to various state departments for oversight and monitoring purposes. Penalties are established for businesses that knowingly provide false information regarding their energy usage, with potential fines and criminal charges for repeat offenses.
