Moreno’s RECLAIM Act Would Bar Federal Data Center Subsidies
Senator Bernie Moreno introduced the RECLAIM Act on October 15, 2026, proposing to prohibit federal subsidies for data centers and impose a 100% federal excise tax on certain state and local grants or tax exemptions used by qualifying operators. The bill is not enacted and creates no current procurement opportunity, but its progress could affect data-center project incentives, financing, and bids that depend on public support.
