Extend the TikTok Deadline Act

# Summary of HR 391: Extend the TikTok Deadline Act **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would extend the deadline for TikTok to divest from its Chinese parent company, ByteDance. Under current law (the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act amendments), TikTok faced a deadline to sell its U.S. operations or face a ban. This legislation would push back that deadline, giving the company additional time to complete a sale or restructuring deal. **Who It Affects:** The bill would primarily affect TikTok and its roughly 170 million U.S. users.

It could also impact ByteDance, potential buyers of TikTok's U.S. operations, and investors involved in any sale negotiations. More broadly, it relates to national security concerns about foreign control of data-collecting technology platforms used by Americans. **Current Status:** As of now, HR 391 is in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. The bill was introduced by Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and remains in the early stages of the legislative process.
