Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has certified a proposed constitutional amendment that would ban the construction of large data centers in the state, clearing the way for the next step in the process.
The proposal would prohibit new data centers that exceed 25 megawatts of electricity use. Certification confirms the petition’s title and summary are fair and allows it to move to the Ohio Ballot Board for review.
If approved as a single issue, supporters can begin collecting signatures to place the measure on a future statewide ballot.
