Summary

California AB 1095 would have let the state infrastructure bank finance projects that capture and convert data center waste heat and would have made data centers generating waste heat energy eligible for renewable energy credits under conditions. It was held under submission in the Assembly Appropriations Committee in May 2025, and the official bill history records that it died on 31 January 2026 under the constitutional deadline for bills in their house of origin. It did not become law.

What this does not establish

  • The bill text and history are an earlier review's extracts of the official bulk file pubinfo_2025.zip; the saved copies were checked as unchanged.
  • The 21 April 2025 amended version is the last version shown; later text did not exist because the bill died in committee.

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.
