This bill creates new definitions for data center operations in South Dakota law, establishing what qualifies as a "data center," "computer software," and "enterprise information technology equipment" used to run these facilities. The definitions cover physical equipment like servers, cooling systems, power infrastructure, and networking equipment, but specifically exclude digital currency mining operations. These definitions appear designed to establish a framework for how the state will regulate or manage purchases related to qualifying data centers.
