H.R. 9442 directs the Secretary of Energy to submit quarterly public reports on AI data centers including financial vehicles, water usage, energy usage, wastewater discharge, and wages and benefits.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Ocasio-Cortez introduced bill text that closely matches the commitment's required reporting categories, but the text is only an introduced bill and does not itself create enacted reporting requirements.

GovInfo lists H.R. 9442 as introduced by Ms. Ocasio-Cortez and referred to the Committees on Energy and Commerce and Foreign Affairs, with last action date June 24, 2026.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): As of the refresh, official bill-status evidence shows the proposal remained at introduction/referral rather than enacted, so the reporting mandate has not been delivered while the bill remains unresolved.

Ocasio-Cortez introduced H.R. 9442 in the 119th Congress, and the bill text closely matches the promise by requiring quarterly public reporting on AI data center financing, water use, energy use, wastewater discharge, and wages/benefits. However, the measure has only been introduced and referred to House committees, with no evidence that it has passed or created binding federal reporting requirements. Because she materially advanced the promised policy but the outcome remains pending rather than enacted, this is unresolved with an effort badge.
