Summary
Virginia Senate Bill 336 of 2026 would direct the State Corporation Commission to evaluate the impact of requiring data centers to limit the use of Tier 2 generators and prioritize Tier 4 equivalent or better generators, and to report its findings to legislative committees. The Division of Legislative Services 2026 Session Summary lists it as carried over at the close of the 2026 Regular Session; it has not been enacted.
What this does not establish
- The Legislative Information System bill page (the primary source link) is a JavaScript application whose bill text and history could not be read automatically when checked; the description and outcome come from the Division of Legislative Services 2026 Session Summary, not from a reading of the bill text.
- The Session Summary lists the bill as Carried Over at the close of the 2026 Regular Session (sine die 14 March 2026). Its later status was not opened because the LIS bill page is a JavaScript application; it has not been enacted.
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.
