Artificial Intelligence Data Center Moratorium Act This bill prohibits building or upgrading artificial intelligence (AI) data centers until laws regulating AI and AI data centers are enacted. It also restricts the export of AI-related computing hardware to countries without similar laws in effect. Specifically, no AI data center may be constructed or upgraded until laws are enacted (1) subjecting AI products to prerelease federal review and approval for safety and effectiveness, and (2) ensuring that AI-related economic gains benefit workers and the people of the United States (including by preventing AI-related job loss). Further, with respect to AI data centers built or upgraded after the moratorium ends, these laws must ensure such centers do not increase consumers’ utility bills and do not harm the environment; affected communities are empowered to approve or reject construction or upgrades; such centers create union jobs subject to labor standards; and no government subsidy is provided for the construction, upgrade, or operation of such centers. Under the bill, the term AI data center includes collocated structures and equipment under common ownership or control used for AI development or operation that meet certain power and design specifications. Additionally, the Department of Commerce must prohibit the export, reexport, or in-country transfer of specified computing hardware for AI-related use to any country that does not have comparable laws or regulations in effect. Finally, the Department of Energy must periodically report on AI data centers’ funding sources, energy and water use, and labor.

NETWORK supports HR 633, the Take It Down Act. The bill provides tools to designed to protect victims of real and deepfake revenge pornography. NETWORK opposed H.J. Res. 61, which seeks to nullify an EPA rule setting hazardous air pollutant standards for rubber tire manufacturing. NETWORK also opposed H.J. Res. 42, which aims to revoke a Department of Energy rule updating certification and labeling requirements for various appliances. NETWORK opposed both resolutions, issuing vote recommendations to protect environmental standards and consumer transparency. Network opposed H.R. 1897, the Endangered Species Act Amendments Act of 2025, would rewrite significant portions of the law to slow the process for listing and recovering threatened and endangered species while expanding exemptions for projects that jeopardize them and fast-tracking the process for delisting them. NETWORK opposed H.R. 5587, the Harnessing Energy At Thermal Sources (HEATS) Act, would eliminate all review, public input, and transparency under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for prescribed geothermal development impacting public lands and resources. NETWORK opposed the Senate vote on a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution of disapproval to overturn protections for the headwaters of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, Voyageurs National Park and surrounding Superior National Forest from toxic copper-nickel sulfide ore mining. NETWORK opposed the following House bills that would significantly weaken the Clean Air Act: the FIRE Act, the FENCES Act, and the RED Tape Act. The bills are a direct attack on the health and safety of our communities. NETWORK supports the AI Data Center Moratorium Act (H.R. 9442/S. 4214) which would impose a moratorium on the construction of new data centers until legislation is enacted that safeguards the public from the dangers of artificial intelligence. NETWORK urges support for the Energy Bills Relief Act (H.R. 7977) which calls for new infrastructure investment in clean energy that lowers household utility costs while reducing pollution.
