Summary

West Virginia Senate Bill 583 of 2025 would have established economic incentives for data centers to locate in the state. The official bill page shows its last action as referral to the Senate Economic Development Committee and no later action. The Legislature's 2025 calendar set the sixtieth day, 12 April 2025, for adjournment at midnight, so the bill did not become law in that session. A different 2025 bill, House Bill 2014, was enacted and is recorded separately.

What this does not establish

  • The end date is the constitutional sixtieth-day adjournment shown on the Legislature's 2025 calendar; no separate adjournment notice was opened for 2025.
  • The bill text was read only through its official summary and the code sections listed on the bill page.

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.
