This bill establishes a prohibition against applicants, including their agents, from entering into agreements that conceal information regarding the development of data centers in New Jersey. Specifically, it forbids the use of non-disclosure agreements with approving authorities, municipal agencies, and property sellers that aim to hide details or prevent public review of development plans. Such agreements are deemed against public policy and therefore unenforceable. Additionally, applicants must attest that no such agreements were made during the real estate transaction for the property intended for development.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that approving authorities or municipal agencies cannot approve any site plans, subdivisions, or other necessary approvals if the applicant has violated the provisions outlined in the bill. It clarifies that the bill does not allow for the concealment of information regarding the development of any structure other than data centers, in accordance with existing laws like the "Senator Byron M. Baer Open Public Meetings Act." The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
