Summary
Wisconsin Assembly Bill 722 of the 2025-2026 session combined large energy customer fees and a very large customer utility class with building requirements for data centers and a required pay rate on large-scale data center projects. It was referred to committee on 3 December 2025, and the official bill history records that it failed to pass pursuant to Senate Joint Resolution 1 on 23 March 2026, so it did not become law.
What this does not establish
- The history also lists a coauthor addition dated 6 April 2026, after the recorded failure; it does not change the recorded disposition.
- Several provisions address large energy customers generally; only the named data-center provisions bring the bill within this tracker.
- The bill text was not analyzed; companion 2025 Senate Bill 729 is a separate record.
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.
- Related, not a replacement Senate Bill 729 (2025) on large energy customers and data centers (did not pass) (Did not pass)
