H.R. 9340: check the evidence

Start with the bill’s text, then check the dated action history. The separate S. 5640 teaser has its own source.

What supports the explanation?

Costs and termination

Recovery of full additional upgrade costs, including when the customer stops buying electricity. The bill calls for authorities to consider adopting the standard; it is not an adopted nationwide requirement.

Check: House text §2(a), proposed §111(d)(22)(A)

Assurances before upgrades

Financial assurances or contributions; the text leaves their form, valuation and payment schedule unspecified.

Check: Proposed §111(d)(22)(B)

Who qualifies

The customer, agreement timing, facility purpose and 100-megawatt conditions belong together. Not every data center or existing agreement is covered.

Check: Proposed §111(d)(22)(C)

Prior-action exceptions

Certain prior state actions affect consideration requirements. A prior proceeding or vote does not itself establish adoption.

Check: §2(b), proposed §112(b)(9) and §112(i)

What the dated record shows

September 30: motion to proceed withdrawn; earlier cloture on that motion not invoked, 57–43. These were procedural actions, not a vote rejecting the bill.

Check: October 8 retained actions

Official September 16 House-engrossed text · Official action history

The metadata and actions in this packet were retrieved October 8, 2026 around 04:30 UTC. Live links may show later activity. This snapshot does not establish complete floor coverage or the absence of unposted actions.

What could happen next?

Another attempt to take up the bill, a possible cloture effort or unanimous consent are conditional possibilities under general Senate procedure. Cloture would not itself take up or pass the bill. The retained snapshot does not establish a scheduled next step.

How these procedural sources were retained

Spot’s original review used web inspection only; it created no saved source copies or retrieval receipts. These unchanged copies were captured October 13, 2026 with new retrieval records. They are not reconstructed historical receipts. The rules PDF is the cited 117th Congress edition, Senate Document 117–9. Rule XXII(2) is on printed pages 15–16 (PDF pages 19–20). The two glossary entries and those rules pages support the conditional explanation, not a bill-specific ruling or announced plan.

Separate teaser: S. 5640

The introduced text supports a preview of proposed public water-use, greenhouse-gas and energy reporting in §2(b) and §2(c). It does not establish enacted duties or a complete bill summary. Its source is separate from the H.R. 9340 snapshot.
