Making sure data centers pay their fair share, peak demand electrons flowing to data centers should be subject to an excise fee, which will be 100% rebated to consumers.
Make data centers pay their fair share through an excise fee rebated to consumers.
Occurrences
Evidence
Her official agenda says data-center peak-demand electricity should face an excise fee, with the proceeds fully rebated to consumers.
The Clerk lists April McClain Delaney as the Democratic representative for Maryland's 6th District, with oath of office on Jan. 3, 2025.
Congress.gov explains this page lists enacted bills and joint resolutions after NARA assigns public-law numbers; the listed laws do not include a data-center excise-fee rebate law.
Her official votes-and-legislation page points constituents to Congress.gov records for sponsored and cosponsored legislation and shows recent House votes through June 2026.
Assessments
McClain Delaney has been in federal office since January 3, 2025, and the cited official agenda describes the data-center excise fee with consumer rebates as a proposal, not an enacted federal policy. The available public-law and legislative-tracking evidence does not show that such an excise-fee rebate measure has passed. Because she remains in office and the relevant term is still ongoing, the promise is not delivered yet but is better treated as unresolved rather than finally failed.
