Prohibited Technology Pursuant to the National Security on State Devices and Networks Act (SB 2140)

During the 2023 Regular Session, the Mississippi Legislature passed, and the Governor signed into law, Senate Bill 2140, known as the "National Security on State Devices and Networks Act" ("Act"). The Act amended Miss. Code Ann. § 25-53-191 and created Miss. Code Ann. § 25-53-193 which prohibits the download, access, or use of prohibited technologies on state-operated networks and state-issued devices. The Act defines "prohibited technology" as "any information technology deemed to pose an unacceptable risk to the security of the United States and/or the State of Mississippi by Mississippi and/or federal law, regulation, or guidance". The Act bans state employees from downloading, accessing, or using a prohibited technology on a state-issued device or state-operated network. The Act also requires ITS, or any other appropriate state agency, to restrict the download, access, or use of prohibited technologies on state-operated networks and specifically directs ITS to maintain and timely update a publicly available list of prohibited technologies on its website.
