Deluzio Joins New Push to Stop Tax Giveaways for Data Centers

CARNEGIE, PA - Last week, Congressman Chris Deluzio (PA-17) helped introduce the Reverse Big Ugly Tax Breaks for Data Centers Act, which would reverse tax giveaways for data center development from the Republicans' One Big Beautiful Bill. Congressmembers Kristen McDonald Rivet (MI-08) and Don Davis (NC-01) lead the bill, and Congressman Deluzio is a co-sponsor of the measure.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) that Donald Trump and congressional Republicans passed into law in 2025 cut more than $1 trillion from Medicaid and SNAP food assistance and added trillions in debt to pay for reckless tax giveaways for things like AI data construction. The Reverse Big Ugly Tax Breaks for Data Centers Act would end these tax giveaways for AI data centers. Specifically, the bill would keep data centers from being able to take the 100% bonus depreciation tax deduction and from being eligible for Opportunity Zone tax benefits.

"It is ridiculous that Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans slashed healthcare for Pennsylvanians and jacked up the debt by trillions to help pay for reckless tax giveaways to AI data center developers," said Congressman Deluzio. "Let's repeal these giveaways and get our government focused on making sure hard work delivers the good life that people have earned."
