Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that every American and community impacted by the construction or operation of an artificial intelligence data center should have the right to transparency and local autonomy.

As established in Gibbons v. Ogden, the power to regulate interstate commerce is full and complete, and a resolution that speaks to the conditions and consequences of such commerce is a proper exercise of legislative deliberation.
