HB1500

Mississippi HB1500 establishes a pilot program to incentivize motion picture, television, and digital media productions within the state.

Mississippi HB1500 mandates the Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) to create the Motion Picture and Television Competitiveness Incentive Pilot Program. This program aims to attract, retain, and support major motion picture, television, and digital media productions filming in Mississippi. The MDA will provide financial incentives, grants, or rebates to eligible productions based on criteria such as in-state expenditures, employment of Mississippi residents, and economic impact on local communities.
