Summary

South Carolina Senate Bill 867 of 2026, summarised by the General Assembly as "Data Center Development Act", would have enacted the Data Center Development Act, defining data center development terms and creating a Data Center Development Office; it was reported favorably by the Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee but did not pass the Senate. The official bill page still shows it "Currently residing in the Senate", and both chambers adjourned the 2026 regular session sine die on 14 May 2026, so it did not become law.

What this does not establish

  • The end date recorded here is the sine die adjournment of the 2026 regular session recorded in both chambers' journals; the concurrent sine die resolution permitting limited later sessions was not opened, and no later action appears on the bill page.
  • The bill text was read only for its title and caption.

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.
