What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Extend the TikTok Deadline Act," seeks to change the current timeline for TikTok. It aims to amend the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act. Specifically, the bill focuses on extending the deadline required for TikTok to be sold to avoid a ban. The proposed change increases the time limit from 270 days to 540 days.
