Federal News Radio 1500 AM: White House draft bill expands DHS cyber responsibilities: "Additionally, the source said there is a provision toward the end of the document that could have far-reaching effects.
The provision states: 'Prohibition, no law, rule, regulation or order or other administrative action of any state or political subdivision shall require a business entity to house a data center in such state or political subdivision there of as a condition to certify, licensure or approval in relating to operation of such entity.'
The source said the provision means the government can't stop a company from doing business in a state, but if the state is doing a procurement, they can't tell the business to locate a data center in their state.
The provision also defines what a data center is and says the language will 'promote efficiency and innovation'
The source called it the 'Google provision' since the search engine giant hosts its data in centers around the world."
It helps to know the O. I wonder how many hundred million he gets contributed to his billion dollar campaign for this one? And why is the executive branch writing legislation anyway?
