This bill would give TikTok more time to be sold before it could be banned in the United States. It changes an existing law so the deadline for a sale would be extended from 270 days to 540 days. In simple terms, the bill delays the current cutoff date by about nine more months, giving the company and any possible buyers a longer window to work out a deal.
- It changes the deadline in the current law from 270 days to 540 days.
- The extra time is meant to let TikTok be sold and avoid a ban under the existing foreign control law.
- The bill only makes this one change and does not add other major rules.
