This bill creates new purchasing rules for data center operations by defining what equipment and software qualify for special treatment under state procurement law. The law establishes that "enterprise information technology equipment"—including servers, cooling systems, power infrastructure, and related hardware—used solely to operate data centers can be purchased under these new provisions. This allows data center operators to procure the specialized equipment and software they need through modified state purchasing procedures.
