Methodology: Status classifications are based on enacted legislation, active bills, and utility tariff rules. "Permitted" means explicit legal protection exists. "Pending" means active legislation is in progress. "Deferred" means a bill was introduced but did not pass this session — sponsors plan to reintroduce in 2027. "No Guidance" means no explicit rule exists in either direction. Updated weekly. Last updated May 2026.
