HR 391 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Extend the TikTok Deadline Act
To amend the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act to extend the deadline by which TikTok must be sold in order to avoid being banned.
Summary
This bill amends the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act to extend the deadline for TikTok to divest its U.S. operations. The deadline is extended from 270 days to 540 days, effectively doubling the timeframe in which TikTok must be sold to avoid being banned from operating in the United States. The longer timeline provides additional time for a potential buyer to complete the acquisition process.
