Bill overview
This bill, titled the "Prohibited Applications on Government-Issued Devices Act," prohibits state and local government employees from using certain internet applications on devices owned by their employers. It defines key terms like "foreign country of concern" and "prohibited application" to include apps created by entities linked to specific nations or those posing security risks, such as data collection or ransomware deployment. Public employers are required to block these apps, restrict access on devices, and have the ability to remotely wipe them, with limited exceptions and a waiver process for specific circumstances.
