- Proposition 45 could give data center developers a loophole to evade public scrutiny, environmental advocates warned.
- Proposition 45 would shorten timelines for state-mandated environmental assessments as part of its pitch to fast-track “essential” infrastructure.
Why it matters: For data center developers, a shorter state environmental-review process is the benefit at stake; for environmental advocates, the concrete concern is reduced public scrutiny. The excerpt names no deadline or qualifying-project count, leaving the central trade-off as faster essential-infrastructure review versus stronger public oversight of data center development.
