Senate Bill 1893 amends the Government Code to require all state agencies and political subdivisions to adopt a policy that prohibits the installation or use of certain social media applications or services such as TikTok that pose a potential security risk to the state on any device owned or leased by the governmental entity and requires the removal of these applications and services from those devices. However, the bill provides for the installation and use of such an application or service to the extent necessary for providing law enforcement or developing or implementing information security measures.
