Summary
Pennsylvania Senate Bill 1408 would provide for a prohibition on certain nondisclosure agreements between public agencies and data centers.

It is a pending proposal and not law.
What this does not establish
- The current official bill history and amended Printer’s Number 1976 were read on 1 October 2026. The proposal would prohibit covered nondisclosure agreements; it is not an enacted restriction.
- The Pennsylvania 2025-2026 session continues until 30 November 2026, so a bill without further action is pending, not failed, on 1 October 2026.
- Executive Order 2026-05 separately addresses nondisclosure agreements for executive agencies; that order is not changed by this bill.
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.
