Claimant: Byron Donalds (R)
Claim: Florida Senate Bill 484 “ensures that utility rates will not go up due to data centers.”
Rating: MISLEADING
Explanation: The law requires large data centers served by investor-owned utilities to bear their “full cost of service,” but it does not guarantee that customer rates will not rise. It does not cap utility bills and does not apply to municipal utilities or rural electric cooperatives.
