With support of our visionary Legislators, the Michigan Film Incentive is having new life breathed into it.
Last week, the Senate Economic Development Committee voted unanimously to support the new Michigan Film Incentive Bill 569.
The following day, the Michigan Senate approved Bill 569, sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville (R, Monroe), with a vote of 34 to 4 – over 89% approval.
Now the Bill has moved to the Michigan House of Representatives and had its first reading and been referred to the House Committee on Commerce, your assistance is requested.
Please contact the House Committee on Commerce Representatives and share your support of Senate Bill 569 – titled the “Michigan strategic fund act.”
