Scope
Arizona HB 2820 (2026, as introduced), reference title "data centers; incentives; repeal; requirements", would have repealed A.R.S. 41-1519 and added a Title 44 article on computer data centers providing that, from and after 31 December 2032, an owner or operator may use electricity only from a solar energy device with battery storage and may not use evaporative or other cooling that consumes more than 115 gallons of water per day per 1,000 square feet, enforced by the Corporation Commission. It was not enacted before the Legislature adjourned sine die on 13 June 2026.

Summary
Arizona HB 2820 would have repealed the data center tax relief statute and set future solar-plus-storage and cooling-water limits for data centers. It is not among the 2026 session laws or the Governor's letters, and the Legislature adjourned sine die on 13 June 2026, so it did not pass and imposed no requirement.
What this does not establish
- The official bill-status API (apps.azleg.gov) is disallowed by robots.txt, so committee history was not opened.
- Failure is inferred from the official record: the bill is absent from the 2026 session-law (chaptered bill) list and from the Governor's letters list (both fetched 23 September 2026), and the Legislature adjourned sine die on 13 June 2026.
- Only the introduced text was opened; later amendments, if any, were not reviewed.
Unresolved questions
None recorded.
Relationships
Supersession means a later instrument replaces the earlier legal effect. Repeal links identify the repeal instrument and the measure it ends. A later implementation or related letter is not treated as a replacement unless the record says so.
- No related action is recorded.
