Summary

Florida House Bill 1517 of 2026 proposed disclosure requirements for applications to approve data center facilities and for existing data centers, with publication by the Department of Environmental Protection. The official bill history records that it died in the House Economic Infrastructure Subcommittee on 13 March 2026. A different 2026 data center bill, SB 484, was enacted as chapter 2026-65.

What this does not establish

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.
