Summary

New York A10141-A/S9144-A would impose a moratorium on permits for new data centers and direct the Public Service Commission to limit the rate impact of new data centers. The Assembly page shows referral to the Environmental Conservation Committee on 9 February 2026 and a new print on 12 May 2026. It has not passed either house and has no legal effect.

What this does not establish

  • The primary source is the New York Assembly bill page (summary and actions). nysenate.gov bill pages return HTTP 403 to automated requests and were not used. The full bill text was not opened.
  • New York's 2025-2026 legislative term runs through 31 December 2026, so a bill without further action is still pending, not failed, on 23 September 2026.
  • The official summary does not state the length of the proposed moratorium; the full text was not opened.

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.
