Summary
New York A11560/S10642, the Responsible Data Center Development Act, passed both houses on 4 June 2026 and was returned to the Assembly. As of 23 September 2026 the Assembly page lists no delivery to the Governor, signature or veto, so it is not law. Its summary describes a one-year moratorium on data center permits, a separate utility service classification for large data centers, efficiency goals, host community benefits and labor standards.
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.
- A bill that has passed both houses becomes law only if delivered to and signed by the Governor; neither is shown.
- Executive Order 62 is a separate instrument; this bill would not by itself change that order.
Unresolved questions
- When, or whether, the bill will be delivered to the Governor.
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.
- Related, not a replacement DEC hold on large data-center permits (In effect)
