The Chairperson invited proponent for HB2314, Representative Carpenter of district 81, to provide his reason for supporting the bill. Proponent Carpenter stated the largest concern this bill addresses is giving the Chinese Communist Party access to our personal data. He added that the executive branch had already banned Tik Tok on state devices and networks on December 30, 2022, when the governor issued executive order, EO 22-10. HB2314 is very similar to the governor's executive order and would be backing it up with law. A question and answer session followed.
