The bill establishes the Data Center Study Commission within the Department of Development to address the rapid proliferation of data centers in Ohio. The Commission will consist of 15 members appointed by various state leaders, including the Governor, Speaker of the House, and Senate President, with appointments to be made within 30 days of the bill's effective date. Members will receive compensation for their participation, and the Commission is required to hold at least four public meetings to gather testimony from both the public and experts on various topics related to data centers, such as environmental impact, effects on the electrical grid, and implications for local economies.

The Commission is tasked with examining a range of issues concerning data centers and must submit a report with findings and legislative recommendations to the Governor and General Assembly within six months of the bill's effective date. The bill is declared an emergency measure, emphasizing the urgent need for a regulatory framework to address concerns from citizens and local governments regarding the development of data centers in their communities. The Commission will dissolve after issuing its report.
