Bill > SB2159

This bill prohibits state agencies in Texas from installing or using certain social media applications and services, such as TikTok, on devices owned or leased by the state agencies. It allows for exceptions for law enforcement purposes or developing information security measures, but requires the use of mitigation measures and documentation. The governor can also identify additional social media applications or services that pose similar risks and include them in the prohibition. State agencies have 60 days after the bill's effective date to adopt the required policy, and the bill takes effect immediately or on September 1, 2023, depending on the vote of the legislature.
