SB 1385 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 66 (Public Utilities) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in general provisions, further providing for definitions.

This bill amends Pennsylvania's public utility laws to explicitly exclude data centers from the legal definition of a public utility. It achieves this by adding a specific definition for "data center" and listing it as an entity that does not fall under public utility regulations. The change directly affects how data center facilities are classified within the state's public utilities code, distinguishing them from traditional utility providers. The legislation will become effective 60 days after it is signed into law.
