What happened
Governor Katie Hobbs signed legislation that halts new tax relief for computer data centers for three years, effective from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029. Separately, the state established State Affordability Infrastructure Districts, which allow public works projects, such as roads and water lines, to be financed using tax-exempt bonds. The package also includes a $1.4 billion tax cut for working families.

Why it matters
The policy changes directly affect investment incentives within the state, specifically targeting the technology and real estate sectors. The infrastructure districts are designed to reduce initial costs for housing projects by funding public works, while the tax pause alters the financial landscape for data center operators.
