S 85 United States Senate · 118th Congress

No TikTok on United States Devices Act

This bill requires the President to block all financial transactions involving TikTok's parent company, ByteDance Limited (or any successor entity), within 30 days of enactment. It directly affects TikTok's ability to operate in the U.S. by prohibiting U.S. persons and property from engaging in transactions with the covered company. Key mechanisms include using existing sanctions authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to block transactions involving TikTok's data or services, while exempting national security, law enforcement, and security research activities. The bill also mandates a 120-day report to Congress on Chinese government access to U.S. user data via TikTok. This focuses on restricting TikTok's U.S. operations through financial sanctions, not a direct app ban.
