About the bills we are supporting
We are supporting legislation to eliminate the expiration of the state’s Film & Television Production Incentive. The incentive program by current law expires at the end of 2022, and with it the thousands of local jobs and small businesses supported by the film and television industry in Massachusetts.
➔ Senate is currently debating its State Budget proposal!
➔ House of Representatives passes language to eliminate the sunset in its State Budget proposal!
Legislation has previously been filed to eliminate the sunset:
House Docket: HD #657 (Rep. Chan) An Act to remove the film tax credit expiration date
Senate Docket: SD #344 (Sen. Moore) An Act supporting job growth in the Commonwealth
