This bill proposes to amend current statutes by adding a new section to Title 37 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically section 37-111. Under this new provision, the Arizona State Land Department (ASLD) would be required to develop a map within two years that identifies state land parcels deemed optimal for the development of computer data centers and related facilities. The ASLD would collaborate with the computer data center industry to create this map, which the Commissioner must consider when formulating conceptual land use plans as outlined in section 37-331.03.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the Commissioner submit the completed map to key state officials, including the Governor, the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Secretary of State. This new requirement aims to enhance the planning and development of data centers on state lands, ensuring that the state's resources are utilized effectively for technological advancements.
