Outgoing California Gov. Gavin Newsom has proposed expanding the state’s film and TV tax credit program from $750 million to at least $1 billion, which would make it the nation’s largest tax credit program.
*In a statement, he also called on Congress to pass the Motion Picture, Television and Entertainment Revitalization Act by the end of the year.
*Newsom is not currently on the ballot for this year’s gubernatorial election, as he is ineligible to seek reelection for a third term.
*The new governor traditionally takes office on the first Monday after Jan. 1, meaning that Newsom has only a few months to codify this proposed expansion.
