What this does not establish
- The bill status page (read 1 October 2026) is the status source; the full bill text was not opened unless stated.
- The Pennsylvania 2025-2026 session continues until 30 November 2026, so a bill without further action is pending, not failed, on 1 October 2026.
- The exemption program it would repeal is recorded separately (pa-act-2021-25-computer-data-center-equipment-exemption) and remains in effect.
Unresolved questions
None recorded.
