Michigan's House Bill 5882, introduced by State Representatives Miller, Dievendorf, and Paiz, seeks to empower municipalities to impose temporary moratoriums on the construction of cryptocurrency mining facilities and data centers. The bill, currently under review by the Government Operations Committee, aims to address concerns over energy consumption and grid stability by allowing initial moratoriums of up to six months, with a possible 90-day extension. The legislation mandates that local governments conduct environmental and infrastructure impact studies, with costs borne by developers. It also requires public hearings and prohibits officials from signing non-disclosure agreements with developers. The bill categorizes AI data centers and mining farms similarly to prevent regulatory evasion. If passed, the bill could standardize suspension measures across Michigan, with initial votes expected by June 2026.
