If enacted, the bill would give ByteDance 165 days, or a little more than five months, to sell TikTok.
The legislation also has the support of the White House and House Speaker Mike Johnson.
House lawmakers voted unanimously in the same session Thursday to advance a second bill, one that would limit US companies’ ability to sell Americans’ personal information to foreign adversaries.
Speaking to reporters on the Capitol steps Thursday, Gallagher rejected characterizations of the bill as a TikTok ban.
A legislative factsheet from the sponsors of the House bill claims the proposal does not censor speech.
