The South Bend Common Council has delayed a vote on a proposal to ban nondisclosure agreements tied to large industrial projects, including data centers.
A council committee tabled the proposal Monday night. Supporters say the ban would make it easier for the public to learn about major projects planned for the city.
The proposal follows Mayor James Mueller’s decision to sign a nondisclosure agreement with Amazon three years ago over a data center project.
Mueller’s office questioned the legality of the proposed ban in a statement released Monday.
