Summary

House Bill 1206 of the 2026 Regular Session provides relative to permitting and reporting of water usage at data centers. The official bill page shows it pending in the House Natural Resources committee after consideration on 28 April 2026. The 2026 Regular Session reached final adjournment on the date the Legislature lists, so the measure did not become law.

What this does not establish

  • The Legislature's session page states the final adjournment day with the qualifier 'unless extended'; no extension was found on that page.
  • Only the bill page summary and status were read, not the full text or amendments.

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.
