CS/SB 258 (Burgess) prohibits employees of governmental entities from downloading or accessing prohibited applications on government-issued devices. The bills also direct governmental entities to block all prohibited applications on any wireless network they operate. The bill directs the Department of Management Services to compile and maintain a list of prohibited applications and publish the list on its website. 

Similar to SB 258, HB 563 (Amesty) would prohibit the use of TikTok, or other applications developed or provided by ByteDance Limited, on a government-issued device. Both bills clarify that these provisions do not apply to law enforcement officers if the use of these applications is necessary for public safety or to conduct an investigation. (Taggart)
