HARRISBURG, Pa (WHTM) — A bill banning TikTok on state-owned devices in Pennsylvania unanimously passed the Senate Wednesday.

Senate Bill 376, sponsored by state Senator Kristin Phillips-Hill (R-York), passed with unanimous support. It would bring the Commonwealth in line with more than 39 states that passed similar restrictions in the wake of security concerns over the app’s parent company, ByteDance, and its relationship with the Chinese government.

“If we want to protect Pennsylvanians from cyber attacks, we must take proactive and proven steps to defend our systems against known vulnerabilities and threats,” said Sen. Phillips-Hill. “These bills reflect commonsense safeguards that are already being used by other states and the federal government.”

The bill would require state employees to follow federal guidelines on the use of TikTok on government networks and devices.

Two years ago, State Treasurer Stacy Garrity banned TikTok on Pennsylvania Treasury devices.

The Senate also unanimously passed Senate Bill 377, which would require all state IT contracts to meet cybersecurity standards established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Both bills are a part of a larger package from Sen. Phillips-Hill and now advance to the House for consideration.
