Scope
Oregon Senate Bill 553 (2025 regular session), as introduced, would have required the State Department of Energy to study data center power usage and report findings, with any recommendations for legislation, to the Legislative Assembly's energy interim committees by 15 September 2026; the study section would have been repealed on 2 January 2027. The official history records it in the Senate Energy and Environment Committee upon adjournment on 27 June 2025; it did not become law.

Summary
Oregon SB 553 (2025) would have directed the State Department of Energy to study data center power usage and report to the Legislature by 15 September 2026. It was referred to the Senate Energy and Environment Committee and was still in committee when the 2025 regular session adjourned on 27 June 2025, so it did not become law and required no study.
What this does not establish
- Only the introduced text and the official measure history were opened; no amendments were recorded.
- The 15 September 2026 report date and 2 January 2027 repeal date are in the proposed text and have no legal effect because the bill was not enacted.
- The failure day is the history entry "In committee upon adjournment" dated 6-27 in the 2025 regular session history.
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.
