The California Legislature will be voting on the State's 2023-2024 budget. Contained in that Bill with hundreds of other programs is the renewal of the $330 million/year CALIFORNIA FILM AND TELEVISION TAX CREDIT PROGRAM—better know as the California Incentive. 1

This renewal will fund the program through 2030. It is critical for your State Representatives to hear from you NOW. THEY NEED TO KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THE CALIFORNIA INCENTIVE IS TO YOU AND UR FAMILY.

SAMPLE EMAIL TO SEND YOUR STATE OFFICIAL:
RE: California Film Tax Credits
Dear (put Assemblymember or Senator in the heading depending on who you are writing to)

I am a member of the IATSE Local 871… 3

I am a member of the IATSE Local 871, Script Supervisors/ Continuity, Coordinators, Accountants & Allied Production Specialists Guild, who resides in your district. I urge you to vote for continued support of the California Film Tax Credit program. 4

It has proven invaluable in keeping film and television production in our State, which has made it possible for many of our union members to earn a livelihood without constantly being separated from their loved ones.

It has been a great source of revenue not only for California, but also for the ancillary businesses that support our industry and our communities.
I urge you to vote in favor of extending the film tax credits an additional five years.

Sincerely,
Your name and address
