Maine's legislature just delivered a bipartisan win for the nation's first statewide moratorium on large data centers exceeding 20 megawatts until late 2027, fueling trader consensus around a near-even split with "No" edging at 50.5% implied probability, as the bill awaits Democratic Gov. Janet Mills' signature amid her Senate campaign and dueling pressures from environmentalists citing grid overload risks versus business lobbies warning of job losses. This momentum reflects surging state-level backlash to AI's power demands, following Sanders-Ocasio-Cortez's stalled federal push in March, but traders doubt Mills will sign without amendments. Pivotal catalysts include her imminent veto-or-sign deadline and similar bills percolating in over a dozen states, any of which could swing odds sharply if enacted before year-end.

A qualifying moratorium go into effect against the construction of any facility described in the legal text as an AI data center, AI compute facility, AI training/inference data center, or similar. Any moratorium that applies to all “data centers” will also qualify.
The signing of such a bill will qualify regardless of the date such a moratorium actually comes into effect, or whether an injunction is put into place against qualifying legislation.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the US Government.
