Rep. Nathaniel Moran and bipartisan House colleagues introduced a bill to create federal tax credits for U.S. film and television productions. A Senate companion was also introduced, with supporters saying the incentives could bring production jobs back to the country.
Moran and seven House colleagues introduced the Motion Picture, Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act, which would offer tax credits to encourage film and television productions to shoot in the United States. The bill would also provide incentives for productions filmed in rural areas and federally declared disaster areas. Moran said the measure is intended to help keep production jobs in the country.
