CA made a commitment to bring film and television productionโand the thousands of good-paying jobs that come with itโโback home, with the California Film & TV Jobs Act, authored by me and Sen. Ben Allen last year.
When an unintended provision in this yearโs budget threatened to undermine that progress, Senator Ben Allen and I worked with labor, industry and our legislative colleagues to advance SB 186.
The bill protects key elements of Californiaโs Film and Television Tax Credit and provides greater certainty for productions and workers. This is an important step, but there is more work ahead to ensure California remains the global home of entertainment.
TY to the , Motion Picture Association (MPA), Governor Newsom, and my colleagues for your work to make this fix possible.
