Summary

Utah House Bill 585 of 2026 proposed energy-use reporting by large data centers of 10 megawatts or more to their electrical utility, with aggregated reports to the Public Service Commission and the Legislature. The Legislature's bill data show that it was returned to the House Rules Committee and that on 6 March 2026 the House struck the enacting clause and filed it with bills not passed. It did not become law and creates no reporting duty.

What this does not establish

  • The failure date is the day the Legislature's bill data record the House striking the enacting clause and filing the bill with bills not passed.
  • Only the introduced text was opened; there was no substitute version.
  • The Legislature's public bill page renders the same bill data by script; its saved static HTML was not used as evidence.

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.
