Prohibits download or use of TikTok application on any State-issued electronic device.
S 125 prohibits state employees, contractors, and state-issued devices (including phones, computers, and tablets) from downloading or using the TikTok app or visiting its website. This applies to all state agencies and entities working with the state, with violations punishable by fines up to $1,000 or six months in jail. The bill includes an exception for law enforcement officers using TikTok in investigations, requiring the Attorney General to create specific guidelines for such use. The law aims to address data security concerns raised by the FBI regarding TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, and potential data access by foreign entities.
