Republican leadership in the Arizona House of Representatives has introduced a new bill making sure Apple’s planned $2 billion data center in Mesa qualifies for energy tax breaks.
The measure, House Bill 2670, also has specific language making sure information about the Apple ‘command center’ is kept secret.
The legislation is sponsored by House Speaker Dave Gowan, R-Sierra Vista, Majority Leader Steve Montenegro, R-Avondale, and other GOP lawmakers.
It is similar but not identical to legislation forwarded by Senate President Andy Biggs, R-Gilbert, in the upper legislative chamber.
