Summary
Kentucky SB 319 of 2026 would have required owners of data centers built on agricultural land to file a decommissioning plan, with security, with the Energy and Environment Cabinet before operating. Its last recorded action was referral to the Senate Committee on Committees on 2 March 2026. The 2026 Regular Session adjourned sine die on 15 April 2026 without enacting it, so it did not become law.
What this does not establish
- The description relies on the Legislative Research Commission summary of the original version shown on the bill record page, not a reading of the full bill text.
- 15 April 2026 is the sine die date shown on the official 2026 Regular Session Record page; the bill page itself records no separate failure vote.
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.
