Summary

Council adopted Resolution No. 295‑2024 5-0 to implement S.B. 1893 restrictions on TikTok and similar apps on city‑owned or leased devices and set an annual policy review.

The Lone Oak City Council voted 5‑0 on Oct. 8 to adopt Resolution No. 295‑2024 implementing the Texas Legislature’s S.B. 1893 restriction on TikTok and similar social‑media applications on devices owned or leased by the city.

Councilmember Barrow moved to adopt the resolution and Councilmember Owen seconded. After passage, the council unanimously voted to set an annual review of the policy to revisit the restriction and its administration. The minutes record the policy’s adoption but do not specify enforcement procedures or technical steps for removing prohibited apps from city devices.

The action aligns the city with state-level restrictions; staff will carry out implementation and an annual review as directed by the council.
