HR 231 United States House · 118th Congress

Terminate TikTok on Campus Act of 2023

This bill requires colleges and universities receiving federal funding to ban TikTok (and related ByteDance apps) on all school-owned electronic devices - including computers, tablets, and smartphones - within 90 days of enactment. It prohibits federal funding for institutions that fail to implement such a ban, with an exception for research related to national security, law enforcement, or cybersecurity. The policy directly affects all public and private higher education institutions that accept federal funds, including grants and student aid programs. It does not restrict TikTok use on personal devices or apply to non-federal funding sources.
