The bill allows counties in Illinois to create rules for building data centers, including details like size and design. It also lets counties manage where these data centers can be located, especially in areas not controlled by cities. Municipalities can do the same within their own zoning areas, including a nearby radius.
This bill proposes significant changes to the Sports Wagering Act by eliminating a tax on exchange wager transactions and removing certain regulations on fantasy contests. It would no longer classify fantasy contests as non-gambling activities and would repeal the licensing requirements for operators of these contests. Additionally, it would remove protections for participants in fantasy contests from being charged with gambling offenses.
