The Film Projects Bill
Missouri tweaks tax credit limits for film projects
Modifies the "Show MO Act" tax credit caps for qualified motion media production projects
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the bill would change how much tax credit the state gives to movie makers, which could affect local jobs and state spending.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The bill could bring more film crews and jobs to towns, boosting local economies, or it could shrink the credit and reduce state revenue for services.
