Chamber Passed·5/6/25

Michigan HB4235 prohibits public employees and officers from using certain applications on state devices.

Michigan HB4235, known as the "prohibited applications on government-issued devices act," restricts public employees and officers from downloading or accessing specific applications on government-issued devices. These prohibited applications are those created, maintained, or owned by foreign principals from countries of concern, including China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and Syria. The Department of Technology, Management, and Budget must compile and publish a list of these prohibited applications, which public employers must block on their networks.
