National Conference of State Legislatures

The National Conference of State Legislatures is the institutional source for Nicholas Miller in How states are competing in the data center gold rush. In the episode, NCSL data is used to frame how many U.S. states offer Data Center Tax Incentives and how those incentives differ across sales taxes, electricity, property taxes, jobs, capital spending, and energy-policy conditions.

The organization matters to the wiki because it adds a state-legislative view to the AI infrastructure branch. Earlier data-center pages emphasized Public Utility Commissions and utility-rate design; this source adds the legislative and tax-policy layer that can make data-center construction more financially attractive before utility costs and local impacts are fully resolved.
