Does anyone have a link to the actual bill that includes the TikTok reference? I’d love to see the exact phrasing used. Also it’s interesting that they singled out TikTok instead of a more general ban on Chinese or any non-US owned and operated services.

The TikTok section starts on page 2001. The actual content is a bit longwinded. The only mention of "TikTok" is in the title and in the definition of the term "covered application". The key phrase from the title: "DIVISION R — NO TIKTOK ON GOVERNMENT DEVICES"
It seems the to leave the door open for other federal offices to expand the the list of banned apps: "...shall develop standards and guidelines for executive agencies requiring the removal of any covered application from information technology."
