President Biden just signed a $1.7 trillion budget package that contained the proposal.
The No TikTok on Government Devices Act, which the Senate overwhelmingly adopted last week, was squeezed into the massive 4,155-page omnibus package.
On the same day, President Joe Biden signed a stopgap law to keep the government open for another week until the omnibus package arrived on his desk.
President Biden signed the measure into law today.
The measure mandates the Biden administration to draught guidelines by mid-February to remove TikTok from federal devices. The House of Representatives, on the other hand, has outlawed TikTok on devices it owns and governs.
Other tech-related measures in the omnibus package include increased financing for federal antitrust officials.
